Figure 2

(a) The LR and SR muscles were identified through a forniceal conjunctival incision in the superotemporal quadrant and traction sutures were placed onto the LR and SR muscles. (b) The first union suture joining the superior half of the LR and temporal half of the SR at 10 mm after muscle insertion using 5-O nonabsorbable polyester suture; (c) the second union suture is made similarly at 15 mm after muscle insertion using 5-O nonabsorbable polyester suture.
