Slanted bilateral lateral rectus recession for convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia: A retrospective study
BMC Ophthalmology Jul 20, 2020
Ren M, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to examine the safety and efficiency of slanted bilateral lateral rectus recession for the treatment of convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia. The sample consisted of 34 patients [mean age at surgery was 7.09 ± 3.80 years (range, 3 to 18 years)] who had slanted bilateral lateral rectus recession for convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia in Shandong Provincial Hospital affiliated to Shandong First Medical University between September 2013 and October 2015 with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. According to findings, slanted bilateral lateral rectus recession can successfully reduce distance and near exodeviations and the near-distance deviation inequality, thus proving to be an effective and safe procedure for treating intermittent exotropia of convergence-type insufficiency. None of the patients had A-V pattern, torsional diplopia, or restricted abduction of the eyes.
