Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: Fourteen out of 39 patients (36%) sustained a reduction of 15 prism diopters or more for near and/or distance when comparing the pre-injection angle of deviation with the preoperative angle of deviation. CONCLUSION: Approximately one-third of patients receiving botulinum toxin as a postoperative diplopia test maintained a significant reduction in the angle of their deviation prior to undergoing surgery.
