Minimally Invasive Strabismus Surgery
Dr. Wright has developed new minimally invasive techniques useful in the management of small angle strabismus previously only treated with prism glasses. In most cases these procedures can be performed using topical drops for anesthesia with the patient awake.

Wright Grooved Hook for strabismus surgery
Most eye muscle hooks require pulling upon the muscle to gain access to the muscle insertion so surgery can be performed. Pulling up on a muscle ccan cause pain in the awake patient so for the most part eye muscle surgery has always been done with general anesthesia or an injection for local nerve block. Dr. Wright had developed and has a US patent on a new grooved muscle hook that allows muscle exposure without pulling up on the muscle. This hook made by Titan Surgical greatly facilitates eye muscle surgery and makes topical anesthesia strabismus surgery practical.
