Summary
This study seeks to determine if bupivacaine injection of eye muscles can make them stronger
and stiffer, and thereby correct the position of eyes that are turned in or mis-aligned, a
condition generally termed strabismus. It seeks further to find out the different effects of
various concentrations or formulations of bupivacaine, and whether addition of Botox to other
eye muscles can add to the effect of bupivacaine and enhance the correction of strabismus.
