This paper reviews the important diagnostic and surgical principles required for optimal care of adults with exotropia and contrasts this approach with the treatment approach in childhood. I will review important aspects of the etiology, and my approach to the evaluation, preoperative preparation, ...

study, the impact of slanting LR recession on the collapse of the near-distance difference was 8.8 PD/mm, which is almost 2-fold higher than 4.6 PD/mm reported in previous studies1,16. We only included children with IXT and CI who had no prior treatment (whether surgical or non-...
photosyntonics and mechanical vision treatment. This is where the brain is trained to align the use of two eyes together. We have had great success working with patients who have even the most severe of outward eye turns, even those who have been treated surgically for exotropia with l...
