INTERMITTENT EXOTROPIA

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 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 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…
