The postoperative results were promising; in 23 cases we obtained ortHophory, in 8 cases a remaining deviation angle (5-10 D P), and in 1 case a deviation angle above 5-10 D P.
Conclusions:
1. Faden operations is indicated to correct the spatical component of the deviation angle. 2. The postoperative good results are depending on the aSsociations of Faden operation with conventional surgery. 3. Under or above correction of the strabismus is linked with a deficiency of the conventional surgery associated.
