title: Successful outcome of preoperative prism adaptation for decompensated microtropia in an adult.
abstract: A 27-year-old myopic female presented with a recurrence of constant horizontal diplopia secondary to a decompensated microtropia. Following prism adaptation the patient underwent strabismus surgery for the prism adapted angle. A successful outcome ensued; the patient's alignment remains stable and she continues to be symptom free 12 months postoperatively.
