Monocular elevation deficiency (MED) is characterized by unilateral limitation of supraductions, similar in adduction and abduction, in addition to hypotropia and ptosis. We describe a case of a 62-year-old woman with long-standing left ptosis who was initially operated with a frontal suspension technique. On subsequent examinations, a MED of that eye was found. The passive duction test was positive, so the inferior rectus was recessed. In addition, a modified Nishida technique was performed, consisting of the scleral anchorage of the superior edges of the rectus, medial and lateral, 12 mm from the corneal limbus in the superonasal and superotemporal quadrants, respectively. Postoperatively, the left eye presented a minimal hypotropia of 3 PD. This modified technnique used here on the horizontal rectus muscles, turned out to be effective and safe for the correction of MED.
