Ocular ductions after rectus muscle recession and resection in thyroid eye disease.

Conclusion: In this retrospective analysis, we found an equal effect on ocular ductions in patients with TED when comparing recess/resect eye muscle surgery to recess only procedures. In TED patients with large horizontal angle deviations and abduction deficit, medial rectus recession and lateral rectus resection surgery can be considered. Muscle resections in TED do not seem to have a clinically relevant risk to increase the restriction of ocular ductions but rather improve ductions in the restricted directions of gaze.
