About this study

This prospective study included 31 patients who underwent slanted lateral rectus muscle recession for intermittent exotropia with convergence weakness. Measurements of preoperative and postoperative deviation angle, stereopsis was performed.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with intermittent exotropia greater at near than at distance by 10 prism diopters or more
  • Patients with follow up duration greater than 6 months

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with previous ocular or strabismus surgery
  • Patients with ocular or neurologic pathologic conditions
  • Follow up duration less than 6 months

Treatment and study plan

Slanted recession of the lateral rectus muscle

Procedure

All patients who had intermittent exotropia with convergence weakness was enrolled to the slanted lateral rectus muscle recession group.

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes from baseline of exodeviations angle after slanted recession surgery at 6 months.

    Time frame: preop, 6months postop

    Measurement of deviation angle after slanted recession surgery was performed.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes from baseline of near-distance difference after slanted recession surgery at 6 months

    Time frame: preop, 6 months postop

    Measurement of stereopsis after slanted recession was performed.
