IMPORTANCE The Intermittent Exotropia Questionnaire (IXTQ) is a patient, proxy, and parental report of quality of life specific to children with intermittent exotropia. We refine the IXTQ using Rasch analysis to improve reliability and validity. OBSERVATION Rasch analysis was performed on responses of 575 patients with intermittent exotropia enrolled from May 15, 2008, through July 24, 2013, ...

The purpose of current study to evaluate the surgical outcomes of sensory strabismus. We retrospectively studied 7 consecutive patients who had undergone strabismus surgery for sensory strabismus. Patient age ranged from 14 to 48 years. Initial diagnoses were exotropia (n = 6) and esotropia (n = 1). In all patients, surgery was performed only on the affected eye. Initial types of operative proc...
