Abstract

Following macular translocation, spontaneous compensation of subjectively felt tilt can occur by central adaptation to the rotation of the retinal meridians. However, in cases of large angle rotations or under binocular conditions, efforts to counter-rotate the globe have to be made in order to achieve comfortable vision. For restoring binocular vision postoperatively, the fusionable residual angle of 7-8 degrees should not be exceeded.
