Numerous authors published tables showing the amount of strabismus surgery and the effectivity. Although Scobee and Knapp etc. stressed the difficulty of making an accurate prediction of strabismus surgery. the standardized formula of the surgical treatment of strabismus has long been the ambition of ophthalmologist.
