The Harada-Ito procedure is a strabismus surgical technique used to manage torsional diplopia caused by excyclotorsion resulting from a superior oblique palsy. In the modified Harada-Ito technique, the superior oblique tendon is bisected and the anterior fibers, which are most responsible for incyclotorsion, are transposed anterolaterally 8 mm posterior to the insertion of the lateral rectus, along the superior border of the muscle. This enhances the incyclotorsional effects of the superior oblique muscle.
