CHAPTER 71 Eye muscles are released and tucked to treat the condition called strabismus or “cross-eyes.” Possible instruments needed for the procedure include a basic eye set. A brief description of the procedure to loosen the inferior oblique muscle follows: 1. A Cook speculum is used to retract the lids. 2. Westcott tenotomy scissors are used for incision into the tenon capsule. 3. A Jameson muscle hook is used to isolate and lift the muscle. 4. A Beaver knife handle with blade is used to bisect the muscle. 5. Jameson recession forceps are used to grasp the ends of the muscle. 6. A cautery is used for hemostasis. 7. A Castroviejo caliper is used to measure how much to relax the muscle.
