A study to assess the value of Dacron slings in the management of squints which are not amenable to conventional surgery
Abstract
Loops of non-absorbable sutures were used to extend the recession of the horizontal recti in 27 patients. All patients had horizontal squints and were considered unsuitable for conventional recession/resection procedures. The technique is described and the results are evaluated.
