Figure 1
The photographs show the preoperative (a), the immediate postoperative (b) and the later postoperative motility of the operated eye. Note that the motility (c) is very good in the left eye post (muscle transplantation) surgery

Figure 2
Schematic diagrams representing the muscle transplantation (a), the hang back recession (b) and the conventional recession or the long-term result of hang back recession (c). It is important to understand here that the segment used (a) could be the muscle or the silicone band. This serves two purposes, first it does not let the muscle creep forward and second the actual insertion remains anterior to the equator and hence the ocular motility is better

The photographs show another large angle esotropia. The preoperative (a), the immediate postoperative (b) and the late postoperative motility of the operated right eye. Note that the motility (c) in the right eye after the muscle transplantation surgery
