Bupivacaine injection combined with recession of antagonist rectus muscle to treat sensory strabismus.

CONCLUSION: Bupivacaine injection in the antagonist of a recessed extraocular muscle (EOM) appears to add an effect to the standard dose-response of a muscle recession. For patients with esotropia (<25 PD), a single MR recession combined with bupivacaine in the LR can produce a successful motor alignment. For patients with large horizontal strabismus (>45 PD), larger bupivacaine doses (volume and concentration) combined to larger recessions may be needed.
