Strabismus surgery in the setting of glaucoma drainage devices in the pediatric population

ConclusionsStrabismus surgery in eyes with existing or planned GDDs for childhood glaucoma usually improves alignment but often does not result in success based on strict motor alignment criteria. Eyes with childhood glaucoma pose surgical technical challenges related to small orbits and exuberant GDD capsule–muscle scarring and postoperative challenges of poor vision and limited binocular function, that likely limit succcess.
