Effects of the Gaze Fixation Position on AS-OCT Measurements of the Limbus and Extraocular Muscle Insertion Site Distance

Purpose: To investigate the effect of the gaze fixation position on measurement of the limbus and extraocular muscle (EOM) insertion site distance using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Methods: Patients undergoing horizontal EOM surgeries were enrolled in this prospective experimental study. The distance between the angle recess and the muscle insertion site was measured using AS-OCT while patients fixed their gaze laterally or medially at inner or outer gaze fixation. The distance between the limbus and muscle insertion was intraoperatively measured using calipers. Results: A total of 46 lateral rectus muscles and 36 medial rectus muscles of 44 patients ...
