Abstract

Strabismus is a deviation of the eyes, when both eyes simultaneously cannot be directed at the object which is observed [1]. Strabismus occurs in about 2% of children under 3 years old and about 3% of all children [3]. This study included 130 patients with strabismus who were treated surgically in the Eye Clinic at UCC in Kosovo in the period 2012-2013. Depending on the type of deviation, patients were divided into four groups: a. Esotropia, b. Exotropia, c. Hypertropia and Hypotropia.  a) In Esotropia were included 84 patients of whom 19 with monolateral amblyopia and 65 with alternans esotropy with preserved vision. Two of our patients were with paresis of the abducens nerve and one patient with Duane syndrome.  b) In Exotropia were 36 patients of whom 12 with amblyopia and 24 with preserved vision. c) In Hypotropia were 8 patients.
