title: Surgical treatment for progressive esotropia in the setting of high-axial myopia.
abstract: Acquired esotropia in association with high myopia may be secondary to displacement of the lateral rectus muscle pulley system or to the mechanical restriction due to the contact between the posterior elongated globe and the orbital apex limiting rotation. We present the clinical findings and surgical management of a patient with this condition.
