This study looked at whether wearing an eye patch full-time can improve control of intermittent exotropia (a type of eye misalignment) in children aged 3 to 9. Over 3 months, researchers compared patching to simply watching and waiting. The goal was to see if patching leads to be…

This study tests a non-surgical treatment for intermittent exotropia, a condition where one eye drifts outward. Children aged 4-7 will use a special headset for one hour daily, six days a week, for 12 weeks. The goal is to improve eye control and reduce the need for surgery.

This trial compares two common surgical procedures for intermittent exotropia, a condition where one eye occasionally turns outward. Children aged 3 to 10 with basic or pseudo-divergence excess type exotropia are randomly assigned to receive either bilateral lateral rectus recess…

This trial compares overminus spectacles (glasses with extra focusing power) to standard glasses in children aged 3 to 11 with intermittent exotropia, a condition where one eye occasionally drifts outward. The goal is to see if overminus lenses improve eye control over 12 months …

This study compared two surgical methods to correct exotropia, a condition where one eye turns outward. In one group, a piece of the inner eye muscle was removed and reattached; in the other, the muscle was folded and shortened. Both groups also had the outer eye muscle loosened.…

This study looked at whether eye exercises after strabismus (crossed eyes) surgery help maintain eye alignment and control over time. Forty children aged 5 to 15 who had surgery and completed a 3-month exercise program were followed. Researchers measured eye deviation and control…

This study tested a new surgical technique called lateral rectus muscle strangulation to treat exotropia, a condition where one or both eyes turn outward. Twelve people aged 4 and older with intermittent exotropia or exophoria underwent the procedure. The goal was to weaken the e…

This study tested a virtual reality training program called Nu.T in 54 children aged 6 to 15 with intermittent exotropia, a condition where one eye occasionally turns outward. Half of the children used the Nu.T software to do visual exercises, while the other half received no tre…

This study looked at two surgical methods to correct a type of eye misalignment called V-pattern intermittent exotropia, where the eyes drift outward, especially when looking up. Twenty patients received either a standard muscle recession or a recession with an upward shift of th…

This study tests whether patching the stronger eye in the morning (8-10 AM) or evening (5-7 PM) works better for improving vision in children with lazy eye (amblyopia). About 100 children aged 4-8 will wear an eye patch for 2-6 hours daily over 6 months. The goal is to see if tim…

This study tests whether giving sugammadex (a drug that reverses muscle relaxants) can lower the chance of children waking up agitated after strabismus (eye muscle) surgery. About 76 children aged 4 to 7 will be randomly assigned to receive either sugammadex or a standard drug (n…

This study tested whether giving children a deeper level of muscle relaxation during strabismus (crossed eyes) surgery could prevent a sudden drop in heart rate, known as the oculocardiac reflex. The trial involved 201 children aged 3 to 18 years. Researchers compared two levels …

This trial tested two drugs, propofol and dexmedetomidine, to see which better prevents emergence agitation—a state of restlessness and crying—in children aged 3 to 7 after squint surgery. Eighty children were randomly given one of the drugs after anesthesia. The goal is to find …

This study interviewed 13 parents of children aged 2-6 who had strabismus (crossed eyes) surgery. Researchers wanted to understand how parents gave their children eye drops after surgery and how well the children cooperated. The goal is to learn from these experiences to improve …
