Abstract
- "Eleven mm recession from insertion of 4 horzontal muscles" was performed for 3 patients with sensory nystagmus and "Classic + 1mm or "Clasic + 40% augmented procedure" were performed for 5 patients with congenital nystagmus who have face turn. The degree of nystagmus was decreased from 20 degrees - 45 degrees to within +/- 5 degrees in 4 of 5 congenital nystagmus patients although degrees of nystagmus were not decreased. No significant diminution or abnomality of the ocular motility was noted after the extensive recession and resection.
