Botox injections could replace surgery for kids with crossed eyes
NCT ID NCT07470164
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares Botox injections to standard surgery for treating childhood esotropia (crossed eyes) in 244 children. The goal is to see if Botox, a less invasive option, works as well as surgery to straighten the eyes. If successful, it could reduce risks from surgery and anesthesia and make treatment more accessible.
