Intermittent Exotropia
Conditions
Brief summary
This study was conducted to evaluate results of slanted recession of the lateral rectus muscle for intermittent exotropia with convergence weakness
Detailed description
This prospective study included 31 patients who underwent slanted lateral rectus muscle recession for intermittent exotropia with convergence weakness. Measurements of preoperative and postoperative deviation angle, stereopsis was performed.
Interventions
PROCEDURESlanted recession of the lateral rectus muscle
All patients who had intermittent exotropia with convergence weakness was enrolled to the slanted lateral rectus muscle recession group.
