    Abstract:
    This case reports Type I Duane's Retraction Syndrome with marked upshoot of the globe in adduction. An 18-year-old patient presented with complaints of not being able to move his left eye outwards since childhood. A 'Y' split of the lateral rectus muscle was performed in the affected eye. There was marked cosmetic and functional improvement in the patient which was stable after 6 months of follow-up. Y splitting of the lateral rectus muscle is a simple technique that can be used effectively in the treatment of marked upshoot or downshoot in Duane's Retraction Syndrome.
