| Abstract |
|
To study the results of surgically treated intermittent exotropia, 62 consecutive patients have been followed up for over 6 months. Initial postoperative alignments in all cases were between 10 PD esodeviation and 10 PD exodeviation. Six months after surgery, 85.5% of initial postoperative alignment within 10 PD to either side remained satisfactory, as did 85% of initial orthophoria. Persisting overcorrections without fusion occurred in 1.6%, while under corrections of 15 PD or more occurred in 3.2%. A satisfactory result could be obtained through alignment of 0 +/- 10 PD immediately after operation. |
