  2. Measurement of eye control by Intermittent Exotropia Control Scale

    Time frame: 3 months

    The level of control will be evaluated in each patient at both distance and near fixation using Intermittent Exotropia Control Scale. The scale ranges from 0 (phoria, best control) to 5 (constant exotropia, worst control).
