Their pre-operative near deviation were between 14-60 prism diopter (PD) (39,04 10,52 PD) and distance deviations were between 6-60 PD (34,47 13,35 PD). On 23 eyes operation was applied without recession and whereas on 113 eyes it was applied with recession. Their post operative deviations were found 7,25 8,00 PD at near and 6,20 7,85 PD at distance. The differencess were found statistically significant. Faden operation is an effective procedure when used on appropriate indications.
