title: Visual localization after strabismus surgery is compatible with the "outflow" theory.
abstract: Strabismic patients pointed at visual targets, presented monocularly, without sight of the pointing arm. After surgical rotation of one eye in the orbit the pointing responses were shifted by a similar amount in the opposite direction in 13 out of 14 patients; this outcome corresponds to the predictions of the outflow theory of visual localization. Occasional differences between predicted and actual response shifts can be attributed to the well-known ambiguity of localization in strabismics.
