This study showed a similar success rate of horizontal strabismus surgery performed in a PC setting by staff surgeons as compared to that performed in an OPD setting by residents at 6 months and 1 year. A significantly higher success rate was observed at long term follow-up (after 2 years) in the PC group compared to the OPD group, possibly related to the difference in compliance with post-operative follow-up management and not to surgery itself.
