Abstract

We report 2 patients who underwent strabismus surgery following corneal neurotization for neurotrophic keratopathy. Strabismus surgery in such cases presents unique challenges because of the potentially complicated motility problems arising from underlying neurologic or orbital processes. We consider the management of conjunctival incisions for strabismus surgery in these patients.
