Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if local anesthetic, either a subtenons injection (an injection just beneath the surface tissue of the eye) or a topical ophthalmic gel (applied directly on the surface of the eye) given at the end of strabismus surgery reduces postoperative pain. Some surgeons routinely use either the subtenon and/or topical anesthetic for pain at the end of strabismus surgery.

Primary Outcome

Pain will be assessed by a masked observer using the Children's Hospital Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS) scale. The CHEOPS (Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale) is a behavioral scale for evaluating postoperative pain in young children. The scale is assessed using the sum of a score for cry (1-3), facial expression (0-2), verbalization (0-2), torso (1-2), touch (1-2) and legs (1-2). The minimum score is 4, the maximum score is 13, and higher scores indicate more pain. Pain is r
