ABSTRACT

Strabismus, also called crossed eyes, is a disorder in which both eyes do not line up in the same direction. It may occur due to muscle dysfunction, trauma, farsightedness, problems in the brain, or infections. Bupivacine hydrochloride is a sodium channel blocker local anesthetic as well as it displaces calcium from membrane binding sites and increases cytoplasmic Ca2+ level. This results in a particular myotoxixcity that leaves the basal lamina, satellite cells, nerve fibers and vessels intact allowing regeneration of muscle fibers. The present study aims to determine the effects of Bupivacaine in treating strabismus alone and along with other drugs. This article focuses whether Bupivacaine injection could be used to alter strabismus in humans in a beneficial way or not.

Keywords: Strabismus, Bupivacaine, eye alignment.
