PURPOSE: To assess the agreement between the measurements of the distance from the medial rectus muscles insertion to the limbus measured by intra-operative spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in consecutive exotropia (cXT).

METHODS: An analysis was performed on total of 14 medial rectus (MR) muscles of 14 patients who underwent surgery for the treatment of cXT. The limbus-insertion distance of the MR muscles was measured using preoperative SD-OCT and intraoperatively using a calliper. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland Altman plots were calculated to determine the agreement between the two methods, as well as the correlation.

RESULTS: Mean age was 36.3 ± 16.0 years (range 13-60), with 60% being women. Mean preoperative deviation was 38.7 ± 16.9 prismatic dioptres (PD) (range 16-65), being +1.3 ± 6.3 PD (range -12 to +10 PD) after surgery. Intraoperatively the MR insertion was found at 8.7 ± 2.1 mm (range 5.5-12.0) and by OCT at 7.7 ± 1.2 mm (range 5.3-10.0). The ICC showed a moderate to good agreement (0.659; 95% confidence interval: 0.157-0.885; p < 0.001), with a correlation of R = 0.792 (p = 0.011). A better agreement was observed in those MR that were less retro-inserted.

CONCLUSIONS: SD-OCT is able to measure the insertion to the limbus distance of the medial rectus muscles that have been previously operated on, showing moderate to good agreement with intraoperative measurements. However, the agreement was poor in muscles with a large retro-insertion.
