Participant Flow

Children with partially accommodative esotropia were recruited from the strabismus clinic of Pediatric Hospital of Cairo University during the period from January 2015 through December 2016. All patients' guardians received a thorough explanation of the study design and aims, and signed a written informed consent.

Participant milestones
Measure
Augmented Recession
The medial rectus muscle will be exposed and hooked through a limbal approach. The muscle will then be secured with 6-0 polyglactin sutures. The medial rectus muscles will then be recessed using standard tables with the surgical dose targeting the average of the largest and smallest angles augmented recession: medial rectus muscle recession using augmented formula ( average of the distance angle with correction and the near angle without correction)
Faden
Medial rectus muscle recession will be performed as described as in the augmented recession group with the surgical dose targeting the smallest pre-operative angle. The muscle will then fixated to the sclera using 6/0 polyester sutures placed in a mattress like with the anterior and the posterior sutures passing through both the edge of muscle and the sclera 12 mm and 14 mm from the muscle insertion, respectively. Faden: medial rectus muscle recession (using the distance angle with correction) with posterior scleral fixation( Faden)
