Assessment of Ocular Torsion in Exotropic Patients Following Horizontal Strabismus Surgery: A Comparative Analysis Using Conventional Color Fundus Photography and Spectralis Optical Coherence Tomography.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To objectively evaluate ocular cycloposition using conventional color fundus photography (CFP) and Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT) in exotropic patients undergoing horizontal strabismus surgery and to assess the agreement between these methods. Additionally, we aimed to determine whether surgery alters ocular torsion in pure exotropia. Methods: In this prospective, single-center study, 42 eyes from 21 patients with exotropia requiring bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession were evaluated. The disc-center fovea angle (DFA) was measured pre- and postoperatively using CFP (Topcon fundus camera) and Spectralis OCT with fovea-to-disc (FoDi) alignment software. Results: The angle of exodeviation improved significantly postoperatively, from 35.10 ± 7
