PURPOSE Computerized static stabilometry is a clinical test in neurologic and muscular diseases to assess postural stability or body sway in a quantitative manner. The purpose of this study was to examine whether postural stability would change in the process of the prism adaptation test in patients with intermittent and constant exotropia. METHODS Postural stability was measured before the p...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the success rate of surgical corrections of constant and intermittent exotropias. STUDY DESIGN A case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi, from July 2011 to December 2012. METHODOLOGY Patients having primary exotropia (deviation 15 - 45 prism diopters [PD]) were included. Patients with either constant exotropia or basic intermittent e...

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 Classic teaching suggests that surgery for intermittent exotropia should be based on distance/near differences. True divergence excess exotropia should be treated with symmetric lateral rectus recession. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of large bilateral lateral rectus (LR) recession in large-angle intermittent exotropia. METHODS Thirty-three consecutive patients w...

We studied 250 patients with consecutive exotropia. The interval between the surgical procedure and the onset of the consecutive exotropia may take many years. Consecutive exotropia occurred with all types of corrective esotropia surgery that we studied. Amblyopia and medial rectus limitation postoperatively seemed to be common factors associated with consecutive exotropia.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Racial variation in the pattern of strabismus is known, but few large scale studies on non-white populations are available. Furthermore, longitudinal change in this pattern within a local setting has not been well documented in the past. This study aims to support the clinical impression that exotropia is more common in Chinese patients, and that the proportion of patients with ...

Background: This paper reflects an effort to recreate a modern analysis of a 1985 study on surgical outcomes of intermittent exotropia. Post-surgical results are reported as functional, motor, cosmetic, and unsuccessful. Modern optometric approaches to management of intermittent exotropia are also discussed. Methods: A literature review of 17 acceptable papers (dating from 1990-2011) on the out...

Many pediatric ophthalmologists have been trained with the strategy that an initial postoperative esotropia of 10 to 20 prism diopters following surgical correction for intermittent exotropia is a desirable initial outcome. This recommendation was suggested to apparently reduce the possibility of subsequent recurrence of exotropia. However, pediatric ophthalmologists who do unilateral recession...

PURPOSE The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the therapeutic effects of slanting muscle insertions for "A" and "V" exotropia. METHODS We performed slanting recession and resection of medial or lateral rectus muscles. A slanting surgical incision creating a 3-4 mm difference between the upper and lower margins of the muscles was performed in 28 patients with "A" or "V" exotropia ( "...
