*Mean; †SD; ‡R = number of patients with better visual acuity of the rotated eye; F = number of patients with better visual acuity of the fellow eye; E = number of patients with equal visual acuity of both eyes.

**Including two patients without light perception of the fellow eye. If those two patients were excluded because they could not have double vision, 4 (40%) patients of the group with no muscle surgery had no diplopia and 6 (60%) had diplopia.

***In the first 16 patients counterrotation together with macula translocation, in the following 11 patients counterrotation together with silicon-oil removal.
