Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Apr 26, 2019
Lee HJ, et al. - In this study, authors examined 37 individuals to assess the long-term surgical consequence of subjects with consecutive exotropia. They categorized surgical outcomes on the basis of postoperative angle of deviation at 2 years: success (esodeviation ≤ 5 prism diopters [PD] to exodeviation ≤ 10 PD), and recurrence [exodeviation > 10 PD]). During a mean follow-up period of 42.4 ± 18.3 months following consecutive exotropia surgery, the surgical success rate at 2 years was 75.7%, and reoperation rate was 10.8%. They noticed the occurrence of exodrift frequently during 1-month follow-up in both groups after surgery whereas candidates with no exodrift within 1 month showed a higher surgical success. They found stereopsis as an essential factor correlated with surgical outcome.
