Strabismus is a deviation of the eyes, when both eyes simultaneously cannot be directed at the object which is observed [1]. Strabismus occurs in about 2% of children under 3 years old and about 3% of all children [3]. This study included 130 patients with strabismus who were treated surgically in the Eye Clinic at UCC in Kosovo in the period 2012-2013. Depending on the type of deviation, patients were divided into four groups: a. Esotropia, b. Exotropia, c. Hypertropia and Hypotropia. a) In Esotropia were included 84 patients of whom 19 with monolateral amblyopia and 65 with alternans esotropy with preserved vision.
