Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
The authors assessed eye position based on the corneal reflex position (Hirschberg test) using a standardised measurement on pictures taken at the preoperative evaluation and under general anaesthesia (GA) in 41 patients. The mean ocular deviation taken at the preoperative visit was 32.3±11.4 with alternate prism cover test at 40cms and 33.5±12.5 with Hirschbergs. This changed to 8.8±11.4 under GA. Ocular deviation change decreased as patient age increased. Change was positively correlated with preoperative ocular deviation.
