Abstract

Monocular elevation deficiency (MED) is a frequent cause of hypotropia. Knapp's procedure is a well-documented and established procedure for treating MED. Modified Nishida's procedure (no split-no tenotomy transposition) has been described as equivalent to vertical rectus transposition in abducens nerve palsy. We report our results using the latter procedure in 3 cases of MED.
