 Dear Colleagues,

 In this issue of *eye Insights*, we highlight two treatments for the management of strabismus: botulinum toxin and adjustable sutures. We include indications for their use, techniques to incorporate them into practice, and outcomes. A list of peer-reviewed journal articles is included for further reading.

 According to the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS), it is estimated that 4% of the U.S. population has strabismus. Pediatric ophthalmologists and adult strabismus surgeons specialize in the delicate eye muscle surgery required to align the eyes. For a list of doctors who specialize in strabismus, please visit the online AAPOS directory.

 We hope you find this issue of *eye Insights* useful in your practice. Back issues are available online at masseyeandear.org. If you have questions or comments, please email us at <eyeinsights@meei.harvard.edu>.
