A new study shows that after strabismus surgery, approximately one of every four patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) requires reoperation. The number of muscles operated on was the sole independent predictor of reoperation and time to first reoperation. The findings of this study were published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology on 27th November, 2021.

This study was conducted by BryceHwang and team with the objective to investigate risk factors for strabismus surgery reoperation in TED patients.
