Surgical techniques for sagging eye syndrome: avoiding lateral rectus surgery

Abstract

Sagging Eye Syndrome (SAS) is a common cause of diplopia in older adults, caused by weakening of the superior rectus-lateral rectus band, leading to inferior displacement of the lateral rectus, with resultant esotropia, hypotropia, and excyclotorsion. A review of surgical results of adults with diplopia due to SAS over a 4-year period was performed.
