Comparison of ocular surface changes after medial rectus resection versus plication

Key Points

This research aims to compare ocular surface changes following two surgical techniques: medial rectus resection and plication.
Analyzed ocular surface changes post-surgery
Compared tissue profiles between the two techniques
Evaluated tear film stability and patient comfort
Both procedures caused temporary ocular surface changes
Plication resulted in a thicker tissue profile, but with minimal impact
No significant difference in tear film stability or comfort between techniques

Abstract

Both MR resection and plication cause short-lived ocular surface changes after surgery. Although plication results in a statistically thicker tissue profile, the effect size is too small to impact tear film stability or patient comfort, suggesting that concerns regarding ocular surface irregularity should not preclude the use of plication surgery.
