A variant Nishida's technique for surgical correction of monocular elevation deficiency syndrome.

Monocular elevation deficiency (MED) is characterized by unilateral limitation of supraductions, similar in adduction and abduction, in addition to hypotropia and ptosis. We describe a case of a 62-year-old woman with long-standing left ptosis who was initially operated with a frontal suspension technique. On subsequent examinations, a MED of that eye was found.
