Abstract

Monocular elevation deficit can result from either inferior rectus restriction, superior rectus palsy or from supranuclear causes. We report a case of monocular elevation deficit after scleral perforation repair which was managed by surgery on contra lateral eye. This improved elevation of the affected eye with no diplopia in the postoperative period.
