Trends in pediatric strabismus surgery in the new millennium: influence of funding and perceived benefits of surgery

摘要

Objective: The rate of strabismus surgery was previously reported to be decreasing in the United Kingdom and Ontario. Data on the influence of government funding on surgical trends and recent population trends for surgery in pediatric patients in Canada are limited. This study aims to analyze the trend in pediatric strabismus procedures in Ontario from 2000 to 2013.
