The Incidence of Reoperation and Related Risk Factors Among Patients With Infantile Exotropia

Abstract

According to the results, 18.3% of patients with infantile exotropia, especially those with more preoperative exotropia, needed reoperation to achieve good alignment. Although the recession-resection method had better motor results, the authors could not recommend it as a first operation for all patients with infantile exotropia because it was only performed on patients with amblyopia. Gross stereopsis and binocular fusion were seen in the majority of patients. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54(1):22-30.].
