Strabismus; Intermittent
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to determine the patient status through its follow up period and weather the eye alignment and eye control are as the same as the last physiotherapy treatment session or there is any deterioration of them.
Detailed description
This study is quantitative cohort observational study. The study depends on following a group of participants over a period of time ( 2 months after completed physiotherapy training program for 3 months to improve eye alignment and eye control post strabismus surgery ). Through the study, there is observation to the changes in certain quantitative variables ( eye alignment and eye control ).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Eye deviation by prism-cover test | 3 months | This test is used to quantify the movement of deviating eye |
| Measurement of eye control by Intermittent Exotropia Control Scale | 3 months | The level of control will be evaluated in each patient at both distance and near fixation using Intermittent Exotropia Control Scale. The scale ranges from 0 (phoria, best control) to 5 (constant exotropia, worst control). |
