Abstract

The authors developed a new surgical procedure for use in treating pure cyclodeviation. This procedure was accomplished by a simple muscle transposition technique without tenotomy. Satisfactory postoperative results were achieved without postoperative complications. This procedure may be useful for treating cyclodeviations, with minimal risk of surgical complications, particularly anterior segment ischemia.
