PURPOSE. To determine a way to prevent the formation of adhesions and delay the time of suture adjustment in the course of adjustable strabismus surgery, an animal study was performed to assess and compare the effects of mitomycin C (Mit-C) and viscoelastic material Viscoat (sodium hyaluronate 3% and chondroitin sulphate 4%, Alcon, Fort Worth, TX).
