Vision therapy for intermittent exotropia: A case series

Outcome of Strabismus Surgery and Vision Therapy in a Case of Intermittent Exotropia

Intermittent exotropia is more common and tends to develop later in life. When considering the surgical approach to exotropia, an initial overcorrection may result in better long-term motor alignment [10,11]. Specific recommendations for overcorrection of patients with intermittent exotropia vary: Raab and Parks [12] advised overcorrection by 10∆ to 20∆; Scott and colleagues [13], 4∆ to 14∆; Mc...

Distance stereotesting using vision test charts for intermittent exotropia

PURPOSE To assess the role of distance stereoacuity using the System Chart SC-1600 Pola (SC) to evaluate intermittent exotropia (IXT). METHODS Stereoacuity testing was performed in 28 children with IXT and 25 age-matched control subjects using the SC test, the distance Randot stereotest for distance, and the Titmus stereotest for near stereoacuity. Ocular alignment control was defined using t...

A Tale of Intermittent Exotropia and Amblyopia – Does Vision Therapy Help?

Among the types of exotropia in childhood, intermittent exotropia (IXT) has been reported to be the most common type. In a population-based cohort, the prevalence of exotropia has been reported to be 1%, with convergence insufficiency and intermittent exotropia being the commonest of the subtypes. A recent large population-based cohort of 5831 preschool children reports a prevalence of 3.2% of ...

Incomitance and Eye Dominance in Intermittent Exotropia

Purpose To determine if the deviation angle changes in subjects with intermittent exotropia as they alternate fixation between the right and left eye in primary gaze. Methods In this prospective observational cohort study, 37 subjects with intermittent exotropia were tested for evidence of incomitance. The position of each eye was recorded with a video tracker during fixation on a small centr...
