Objective: To explore the ocular surface recovery after surgical treatment of strabismus patients. Methods: A total of 92 patients (126 eyes) with strabismus who underwent surgery in our hospital from January 2015 to June 2018 were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups according to the surgical incision, 42 patients (52 eyes)underwent limbal incision were in group A, 17 patients (19 eyes) underwent trans-muscle end-point incision in group B, and 33 patients (55 eyes) underwent proximal hernia incision in group C. According to the number of muscles involved in the operation, the sick eyes of patients were divided into three groups. The 29 eyes with a single extraocular muscle were a single muscle group, the 42 eyes with 2 extraocular muscles were a double muscle group, and the 21-eye treated with 3 extraocular muscles were a three-muscle group. The ocular surface health recovery time of patients with different incision types and muscle involvement were compared. Results: The first tear film rupture recovery time and tear river height time between group A, B, and C were significantly different,and the data were statistically significant (P<0.05); the first tear film rupture recovery time (14.33±3.26) d and tear river height time (14.54±1.58) d in group A were significantly lower than those in group B and C. The data were statistically significant (F=4.876, P=0.032; F=4.612, P=0.036). The first tear film rupture recovery time and tear river height time between the single, double and three muscle groups were significantly different, and the data were statistically significant (P<0.05); the first tear film rupture recovery time (13.42±3.57) d and tear river height time (8.65±1.62) d were significantly lower in the single muscle group than in the double muscle group and the third muscle group. The data were statistically significant (F=4.975, P=0.028; F=5.024, P=0.025). Conclusion:The number of muscles involved in the operation and the type of surgical incision have an important impact on the health of the ocular surface after surgery. The proximal ankle incision and less number of muscles involved would improve the postoperative recovery of eye health.
