RESUMO

Extraocular muscle recessions with adjustable sutures were performed on 32 muscles for diplopia secondary to dysthyroid-myopathy. Orthophoria in the primary position was achieved in 30 of the 32 (94%) 1 day after surgery. All remained orthophoric for at least 6 weeks. Of 20 patients followed for 6 months or more, 12 (60%) remained orthophoric for the full extent of their follow-up (6 months to 8 years), and another three (15%) were asymptomatic with prisms (3, 4, and 8 prism diopters). Thus, a total of 15 of 20 (75%) patients remained asymptomatic at least 6 months after surgery.
