ABSTRACT: Duane retraction syndrome is a congenital form of strabismus characterized by horizontal eye movement limitation, globe retraction and palpebral fissure narrowing in attempted abduction. DRS are present in 1% of strabismus patients. It is most commonly unilateral, but can be bilateral. It affects the left eye more frequently than the right eye and females affected more than males. Refractive error commonly associated is hypermetropia. Here we are presenting a case of a 15 year old boy with Type 1A Duane's retraction syndrome in Right eye with myopia.
