Acquired esotropia with high myopia may be associated with superotemporal eyeball prolapse from the muscle cone and the subsequent shift of extraocular muscles limits the success of the traditional recession-resection surgery. In this study, we report two patients diagnosed with myopic strabismus fixus with esodeviation >90 prism diopter. Marked axial elongation of globes was present in both the patients. They received medial rectus muscle recession and hemi-Jensen procedure in both eyes. Postoperatively, they showed significant improvement in abduction, elevation, and ocular alignment. We found that the combination of medial rectus muscle recession and hemi-Jensen procedure was effective in treating patients with acquired large esotropia with high myopia.
