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.
