Özet
Purpose: Many factors influence pupil diameter, including ocular surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of strabismus surgery performed through a limbal incision on static and dynamic pupillometry. Method: Static and dynamic pupillometry measurements were made and compared in 32 eyes of 32 patients who were scheduled to undergo horizontal muscle recession and resection through a limbal incision in one eye preoperatively and postoperatively on 10 day and at months 1 and 3. Results: All postoperative scotopic pupil diameter measurements of the cases were found to be significantly higher than the preoperative scotopic pupil diameter (p =.0027). In the dynamic pupillometry analysis, a significant difference was found between preoperative and postoperative day 10 and month 1 pupil diameter values of the cases for the measurements taken at seconds 1 and 2 and (p1=0.0033, p2=0.0039, and p5=0.0238). No significant difference was found between preoperative and postoperative values for dynamic pupillometry pupil dilation velocities at any evaluation point. Conclusion: We believe that after strabismus surgery, the balance between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, which determine the pupil diameter, is disrupted to the detriment of the parasympathetic nervous system.
