Refractive changes after strabismus surgery

Purpose of review:The purpose of this review is to report the impact of strabismus surgery on refractive error. Recent findings:Vector analysis was recently employed to show that refractive changes often occur after strabismus surgery but are transient and regress over time. Summary:Studies have shown that while transient changes in refractive error often occur, even statistically significant shifts are often not clinically important, and regress with long-term follow-up.
