We describe a novel surgical technique employing donor sclera as a spacer to solve the problem encountered in complicated cases of restrictive strabismus surgery when no more muscle or tendon is available for surgical extension of the eye muscle to correct the angle of deviation. This is often the case in patients who have previously undergone extensive surgery and in patients with mechanical restrictions, such as thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO).
