Eye muscle transplant or Y-Split: which fixes severe crossed eyes better?
NCT ID NCT07350330
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026
Summary
This study tests two surgical methods to correct large-angle exotropia (a type of crossed eyes) using only one eye. One method moves a piece of muscle to the side, the other splits the muscle in a Y-shape. Researchers will measure how straight the eyes become and check for any side effects like droopy eyelids or limited eye movement. The trial is currently recruiting 30 people aged 6 and older.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
surgical procedure (muscle transplantation or Y splitting recession)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a better surgical option for correcting large-angle exotropia with fewer side effects like eye movement problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery carries standard risks like infection or under/over-correction.
