BT for intermittent exotropia

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin (BT) on the amount of deviation and fusional control state of intermittent exotropia. Twenty-one patients (five male and 16 female) aged five to 18 years with progression of exotropia were...

Saccadic measurements in intermittent exotropia vs fusional amplitude

The authors investigated the correlation between fusional convergence amplitude and saccades during the shift from exotropia to binocular fixation during the cover / uncover test. This was an observational study of 15 patients (six female, nine male) with intermittent exotropia....
