The patients were managed by single surgery to achieve the best possible surgical outcome. Surgery was divided here into adjustable suture and non – adjustable suture surgery for comparison. Surgical success was defined as postoperative horizontal deviation within ± 10 Prism Dioptre of Orthotropia and vertical deviation within ± 5 Prism Dioptre of Orthotropia at 1 month follow up.
