Faden surgery is a surgical procedure done to increase the field of binocular vision. The rectus muscle is sutured to the sclera to prevent rotation of the eye towards the muscle by weakening the rotational force of the rectus muscle. Faden surgery, alias posterior fixation suture, is done to treat incomitant strabismus, Duane's retraction syndrome, nystagmus blocking syndrome, etc. The main drawback of this surgery is accessibility.
