Summary
This study tests whether watching custom dichoptic videos for 8 weeks can improve eye alignment control in children with intermittent exotropia (a type of eye misalignment). Forty children will be assigned to watch either dichoptic or standard videos. The goal is to see if this non-surgical approach can help keep the eyes aligned more of the time.
