Adequate treatment of dissociated deviations has eluded eye care professionals since its discovery in 1895. This case-based investigation presents a review of the various treatment methods that have been advocated for both dissociated vertical and dissociated horizontal deviations, particularly in the presence of a consecutive exotropia and inferior oblique overaction. This difficult case provided an excellent opportunity to elucidate how surgery options change in the presence of multiple ocular anomalies.
