    Superior rectus recession effectively treats dissociated vertical deviation (DVD). This surgical technique realigned 82% of eyes, offering good to excellent cosmetic outcomes for patients with this manifest deviation.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Strabismus Surgery

    Background:

    • Dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) is a manifest strabismus.
    • Accurate differential diagnosis from inferior oblique overaction is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of unilateral superior rectus recession for treating dissociated vertical deviation (DVD).

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-two eyes of 31 patients with DVD underwent unilateral superior rectus recession.
    • The "hang loose" surgical technique was employed.
    • Postoperative follow-up was at least six months, with 50% followed for three years or more.

    Main Results:

    • 82% of treated eyes achieved alignment within 0-9 prism diopters (good to excellent outcomes).

  • The technique proved effective in managing cosmetically unacceptable DVD.

    • Conclusions:

    • Unilateral superior rectus recession is an effective surgical treatment for dissociated vertical deviation (DVD).
    • The "hang loose" technique facilitates successful surgical correction.
