Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession versus unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus resection procedures for the treatment of basic type and pseudo divergence excess type intermittent exotropia.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 3 to 6:1)
  • No previous intraocular surgery, strabismus surgery, or botulinum toxin treatment
  • Investigator planning to perform surgery for correction of IXT
  • No hyperopia greater than +3.50 D spherical equivalent (SE) in either eye

Exclusion Criteria

  • Coexisting vertical deviation, oblique muscle dysfunction, dissociated vertical deviation (DVD), or A or V pattern, any of which the investigator plans to address with vertical transposition of horizontal rectus muscles, oblique surgery, or vertical rectus muscle surgery, i.e., only small vertical deviations, oblique muscle dysfunction, DVD, and A or V patterns not requiring surgery are allowed
  • Limitation of ocular rotations due to restrictive or paretic strabismus
  • Craniofacial malformations affecting the orbits
  • Interocular visual acuity difference of more than 0.2 logMAR (2 lines on ATS HOTV for patients 3 to 6:1 by gradient method)
  • Prior strabismus surgery or botulinum toxin injection
  • Ocular disorders that would reduce visual acuity (except refractive error)
  • Prior intraocular or refractive surgery
  • Significant neurological impairment such as cerebral palsy. Patients with mild speech and/or learning disabilities are eligible.
  • Investigator planning to change refractive correction at this time (if the patient is otherwise eligible, the investigator should consider prescribing refractive correction and bringing the patient back at a later time for enrollment).
