Abstract

Monocular Elevation Deficit (MED) is a frequent cause of hypotropia and is associated with ptosis/pseudoptosis. The primary aim of surgery in these cases is to improve Bell's phenomenon and correct misalignment. Various surgical procedures have been described to correct this defect and the choice of procedure depends upon the numerous associated factors. In this retrospective case series we have analyzed the effect of various surgical procedures used to correct MED.
