Primary outcomePrimary: Suture Colonization Rate in Adjustable Suture Strabismus Surgery — 57; 47 percentage sutures positive for bacteria
Summary
1. To establish the culture positivity rate in adjustable suture strabismus surgery
2. To identify bacterial species and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of microorganisms cultured from suture material
3. To compare suture contamination rates with techniques to reduce the suture contamination rate
