PURPOSE Distance stereoacuity is used to monitor deterioration of intermittent exotropia (IXT), but variability of stereoacuity has not been studied rigorously. The purpose of this study was to assess the variability of stereoacuity over one day in children with IXT. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Twelve children with IXT were recruited. Stereoacuity was assessed using the Frisby ...

Intermittent exotropia (IXT) is the most common form of childhood exotropia 2 with an incidence of 32.1 per 100,000 in children under 19 years of age. The strabismus is characterized by an exodeviation of one eye that is interspersed with periods of ocular alignment. Reliable measurement of the deviation is often hindered by the variable nature of the strabismus, and without careful observation...

Abstract Background Different surgical methods have been suggested for the correction of intermittent exotropia. Unilateral lateral rectus recession has described as a alternative small and moderate-angle In general, previous studies did not focus on outcomes unilateral in young children with The purpose this study is to evaluate treatment exotropia (? 25 PD (prism diopters)) children. Methods ...

PURPOSE To characterize eye movements made by patients with intermittent exotropia when fusion loss occurs spontaneously and to compare them with those induced by covering 1 eye and with strategies used to recover fusion. DESIGN Prospective study of a patient cohort referred to our laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Thirteen patients with typical findings of intermittent exotropia who experienced fre...

We congratulate Yu et al. for their successful results where they evaluated the pattern distribution and the changes of strabismus surgery in pediatric population [1]. The authors observed that surgery for childhood exotropia was more common than surgery for esotropia in China and they stated that strabismus type and onset age were found to be associated with binocular function for subjects wit...
