Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study that included 34 consecutive adults with a history of early onset strabismus who had not previously undergone surgery. They were tested with the Bagolini striated glasses (BSG), Worth four-dot (W4D) test, cover test, and four-prism diopter (4-PD) test, preoperatively, and 6 weeks after surgery. Results: The mean age was 23.8 years, 17 patients had esotropia and 17 patients had exotropia. Preoperatively, all patients demonstrated a manifest horizontal deviation ranging from 30? to 60? and had suppression. At 6 weeks postoperatively, 33 patients had a horizontal manifest deviation of <15? (range, 2?-14?; median, 6?), and none were orthotropic as determined by the cover test together with the 4-PD test. All of these 33 patients achieved anomalous retinal correspondence (ARC) with the BSG at near, and 25 (75%) had ARC with the W4D test at near. Conclusions: Although our study has limited number of patients its findings suggest it is possible to develop ARC after surgery in almost all adult patients with childhood-onset strabismus associated with suppression, and who have not previously been operated upon, if satisfactory alignment is achieved in adulthood.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessAdult Strabismus SurgeryAnomalous Retinal CorrespondenceBagolini Striated GlassesBinocular VisionFusionLate surgical correction of longstanding constant strabismus in adults: Is fusion possible in all successfully aligned patientsArticle--10911410.1080/2576117X.2020.1787017Q3N/A
