Description
Ghufran Alarfaj and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 comparing two treatments for partly glasses-corrected inward eye turning in children. Records covered 107 children under 15 treated at one center from 2015 to 2022. Fifty-one received Botox injections into eye muscles, and 56 had surgery to loosen the inner eye muscles.
Surgery won on first try, with success in 83.9 percent against 50.9 percent for a single injection. After repeat treatments, success rose to 87.5 percent for surgery and 78.4 percent for injections. Six injected children, 11.7 percent, later needed surgery. Complication rates were low in both groups, at 4.8 and 3.57 percent. The authors note injections are gentler but may need repeating.
