To study the effect of superior oblique expander on vertical deviation in case of thyroid Ophthalmopathy. Method: Forty five year old man. Known to have thyroid dysfunction. Patient underwent left inferior rectus recession 8.0 mm from original insertion. That was to correct large angle left eye hypotropia as per history taken from the patient. Orthoptic evaluation revealed that he had left hypotropia 30 prism diopter in primary position. It increased up to 45 on right gaze. It decreased to 20 on left gaze. He had A-pattern exotropia. We did left superior oblique expander 9.0 mm in addition to lateral rectus recession 9.0 mm. Early post-operative findings were absence of vertical deviation in primary position and improvement of A-pattern. Conclusion: Superior oblique expander can correct vertical deviation in case of thyroid Ophthalmopathy.
