Abstract
This study is a qualitative analysis of the consent process for strabismus surgery, using recordings of physicians doing a mock consent for bilateral medial rectus recession. There is considerable variation in the risks of surgery and odds of complications that are cited by pediatric ophthalmologists during the consent process. We propose a reference table with complication rates for use during the consent process.
