| Description | CFEOM is one of the challenging topics in strabismus surgery. The data of 14 CFEOM patients who agreed to undergo strabismus surgery was retrospectively analysed. Twentythree operations on 19 eyes were evaluated in the study. All of the patients had significant restricted motility, nine had exotropia and hypotropia, 2 had esotropia and hypotropia, 1 had alternating esotropia, and 2 had hypertropia, one of them associated with exotropia. Recession of the horizontal or vertical recti were performed in all, together with resection in 5, transposition in 9 and conjunctival recession in one operation. Along the course of the follow-up of our patients, more common surgical doses were augmented because of the unsatisfactory outcome, in addition to the application of stay sutures in 6 patients. Large deviations of CFEOM patients with extreme restriction are difficult to overcome with even augmented surgery. Stay sutures can improve the results of augmented surgery in these cases.
