RESUMEN
Purpose: To investigate binocular visual deficits at low to high spatial frequencies in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT) after surgical correction, using the binocular orientation combination task. Methods: Thirteen patients whose IXT has been aligned surgically (17 ± 4.8 years old; 7 females) and 13 normal individuals (21.8 ± 2.5 years old; 6 females) were recruited. All participants had normal or corrected-to-normal visual acuity. The IXT patients had undergone surgery at least one month prior to the study and achieved successful eye alignment post-surgery. We measured participants' balance points (BPs), defined as the interocular contrast ratio (nondominant eye/dominant eye) when both eyes contributed equally to binocular combination, using the binocular orientation combination task at three spatial frequencies (0.5, 4.0, and 8.0 cycles/degree). The absolute values of log10(BP) (i.e., |logBP|) and the area under of the |logBP| versus spatial frequency curve were used to quantify the extent of binocular imbalance. Results: Surgery aligned the eye position of patients with IXT, with a postoperative exodeviation of -4.92 ± 4.29 prism diopters at distance. Participants' |logBP| values showed significant differences between groups, F(1,24) = 9.175, P = 0.006, and across spatial frequencies, F(2,48) = 7.127, P = 0.002. However, the interaction between group and spatial frequency was not significant, F(2,48) = 0.379, P = 0.687. Conclusions: Patients whose IXT has been alighted surgically experience binocular imbalance across a wide range of spatial frequencies, with greater binocular imbalance occurring at high spatial frequencies than low spatial frequencies.

Homonymous and heteronymous hemianopias associated with strabismus are a therapeutic challenge because surgery may result in diplopia, decrease the visual field (VF), and/or lead to recurrence of the deviation. We present four cases: two homonymous hemianopias and two heteronymous hemianopias. Of the four patients, three had exotropia and one had esotropia. The origin of hemianopias was neoplastic in two cases and traumatic in two cases. Strabismus surgery was performed in three cases, but only one case had a good result; recurrence of the deviation and diplopia occurred in the other two cases. In conclusion, exotropia may develop as a compensatory mechanism in a patient with congenital or early-onset homonymous hemianopia and realigning the eyes could reduce the binocular VF and cause diplopia. In heteronymous hemianopias, there is little risk of the surgery causing diplopia, but the strabismus is unstable because of the absence of binocular vision and vergence reflexes if VF loss includes the macula. Further, strabismus, in association with hemianopia, may be caused by coexistent cranial nerve and/or gaze palsy. The prognosis, objective, and results of the strabismus operation should be clearly discussed with the patients or their guardians before it is performed if hemianopias are present.

INTRODUCTION: Exotropia-hypotropia complex is an uncommon phenomenon associated with high myopia. However, some literature reports cases of the exotropia-hypotropia complex where residual hypotropia is managed through a secondary surgery following the conventional recession-resection of the lateral rectus (LR) and medial rectus (MR). Nasal Loop myopexy as a primary surgical procedure for the management of exotropia-hypotropia complex has been rarely reported in the literature. METHODS: A 24-year-old male with unilateral high myopia presented with a large angle exotropia-hypotropia complex with limitation of elevation in abduction in his left eye. His ocular deviation was successfully managed through a nasal loop myopexy of the superior rectus (SR) and MR using a non-absorbable suture, combined with large LR recession and MR resection. RESULTS: Postoperatively, the patient had satisfactory ocular alignment with improved hypotropia and normal elevation in abduction, contributing to enhanced binocular vision and better cosmesis. DISCUSSION: Managing the exotropia-hypotropia complex in the context of high myopia demands a comprehensive approach that addresses both vertical and horizontal deviations. The surgical strategy employed in this case, which included loop myopexy of SR and MR along with LR recession and MR resection, achieved positive outcomes regarding alignment, elevation, and binocular vision. The case supports variations in muscle path and the potential benefits of tailored surgical strategies for complex strabismus cases associated with high myopia.

Exotropic-Duane Syndrome (XT-DRS) is a congenital cranial nerve dysinnervation disorder characterized by exotropia, anomalous head posture (contralateral face turn), limited adduction, globe retraction, palpebral fissure narrowing, upshoot and downshoot in adduction, and varying levels of limitation of abduction. Patients with XT-DRS often have poor convergence because attempted convergence induces co-contraction of the lateral rectus muscle (LR) due to anomalous LR innervation. We describe two patients with XT-DRS who underwent simultaneous lateral rectus muscle (LR) disinsertion and periosteal fixation (LRDAPF) and modified Nishida procedure (MNP) and discuss their outcome. In one patient, we combined this procedure with a contralateral LR recession. Anomalous head posture, exotropia, globe retraction, and palpebral fissure narrowing were reduced. Upshoot and downshoot were also reduced. Convergence improved in both patients.

PURPOSE: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of pencil push-up training and binocular vision training in treating post-operative mild under-correction in patients with intermittent exotropia. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted, including patients who underwent surgery for intermittent exotropia at Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between June 2022 and January 2023 and experienced post-operative mild under-correction (-8∆ to -15∆). Patients were divided into two groups: pencil push-up training group and binocular vision training group. All patients underwent measurements of exodeviation and stereoacuity at distance and near, sensory fusion, and fusion convergence amplitude. The data were analyzed using independent sample t-tests, repeated measures analysis of variance, and Chi-square tests. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in exodeviation at distance and near between the two training groups before the training. After 6 months of training, the exodeviation at distance and near achieved a significant decrease in both groups (P < 0.05), and the pencil push-up training group showed a similar distance and near exodeviation compared to the binocular vision training group (t = 1.58, P ï¼ 0.05; t = 0.43, P ï¼ 0.05). After 6 months of training, the binocular vision training group exhibited significantly superior stereoacuity and fusion convergence amplitude compared to the pencil push-up training group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Both pencil push-up training and binocular vision training are effective in reducing exodeviation in patients with post-operative mild under-correction of intermittent exotropia. However, binocular vision training demonstrates superior efficacy in restoring stereopsis and fusion convergence amplitude compared to pencil push-up training.

INTRODUCTION: Currently, there is no consensus regarding the management of intermittent exotropia (IXT), which includes both surgical and non-surgical treatment options. Nonsurgical management of IXT has been suggested and includes watchful observation, patching, overminus lenses, prism, and vision therapy/orthoptics. While a significant portion of IXT patients are treated by surgery, it is reported that there is a substantial tendency for reoperation or recurrence of IXT. This paper provides a comprehensive review of non-surgical and surgical treatment options for the IXT. METHODS: Search strategies involving combination of keywords including intermittent exotropia, divergence excess, basic exotropia, refractive error, glasses, spectacles, natural history, untreated, observe, occlusion, patch, overminus, overcorrecting minus, prism, vision therapy, orthoptic, anti-suppression, fusion exercise, and surgery were used in Medline. All English articles from 01/01/1900 to 01/09/2020 were reviewed. The reference list of the identified articles was also checked for additional relevant articles. Studies focused on animal models or strabismus associated with neurologic disorders or injury were excluded. The following filters were used for surgical management due to the abundance of reports: full text, randomized controlled trial, review, in the last 5 years. RESULTS: Appropriate optical correction of refractive error is generally the starting point for all management approaches, but there is a lack of randomized clinical trial data regarding this treatment modality. Randomized clinical trial data indicate that both observation and occlusion are reasonable management options for children 3-10 years old, and there were insufficient data to recommend occlusion for children 12-35 months old. While overminus lenses were found to improve the control of IXT when assessed wearing overminus spectacles, this improvement did not persist after the treatment ended. The result of the only randomized clinical trial on the effectiveness of base-in prism indicated that this treatment is no more effective than nonprism spectacles for improving control. A recent randomized clinical trial showed that vision therapy/orthoptics is effective in improving the control of IXT when compared to observation alone. Surgery was found to alter a number of clinical characteristics of IXT, including reducing the distance and near angle of deviation, reducing photophobia, improving health-related quality of life, stereopsis, and the Newcastle Control Score. However, there are no randomized clinical trial data comparing surgery with a control group such as placebo or a no treatment observation group. DISCUSSION: Rigorously designed clinical trials to investigate the effectiveness of non-surgical and surgical treatments for intermittent exotropia are needed.

PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of bilateral lateral rectus recession with vertical tendon transposition (LRVT) and LRVT combined with inferior oblique (IO) disinsertion for V-pattern exotropia. METHODS: The medical records of patients who had mild-to-moderate (+1 and +2) inferior oblique overaction (IOOA) and underwent half-tendon-width upward LRVT (transposition group), and LRVT with IO disinsertion (combined surgery group) for V-pattern exotropia and who had at least 3 years of postoperative follow-up were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: A total of 45 patients were included: 22 in the transposition group and 23 in the combined surgery group. Preoperatively, there were no differences in V pattern, IOOA, or horizontal misalignment in primary position, upgaze, or downgaze between groups. The amount of exotropia in the primary position was 30.2Δ ± 10.7Δ in the transposition group, and 31.6Δ ± 14.1Δ in the combined surgery group (P = 0.974). A significant decrease in V pattern was observed in the combined surgery group and the transposition group at 6 months and 3 years postoperatively (P < 0.001). The reduction of V pattern in the combined surgery group at 6 months (20.2Δ ± 7.8Δ vs 15.6Δ ± 6.9Δ [P = 0.02]) and 3 years (20.1Δ ± 8.1Δ vs 15.2Δ ± 7.1Δ [P = 0.014]) was found to be greater than the transposition group. There were no differences in the success rate in the primary position at 6 months (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Both tendon transposition with horizontal rectus surgery and combined tendon transposition and IO-weakening surgery decreased V-pattern exotropia. However, combined surgery had a greater effect on decreasing V pattern in patients with mild-to-moderate IOOA.

We aim to explore the alterations of objective ocular torsion after unilateral lateral rectus recession-medial rectus resection (R&R) for intermittent exotropia (IXT). Seventy-two IXT patients undergoing R&R between March and June 2023 were enrolled. Ophthalmological examinations were performed before surgery and at 1 week and 1 month after surgery, mainly including prism and alternate cover test and optical coherence tomography. The mean disc-foveal angle of eyes showing intorsion significantly increased from - 1.5 ± 0.9° preoperatively to 2.0 ± 2.0° at 1 week (P = 0.0227) and 2.2 ± 1.6° at 1 month postoperatively (P = 0.0054). The mean disc-foveal angle of eyes exhibiting extorsion significantly reduced from 12.8 ± 1.9° preoperatively to 9.8 ± 3.1° at 1 week (P < 0.0001) and 9.7 ± 2.7° at 1 month postoperatively (P < 0.0001). The improvement of ocular extorsion at postoperative 1 month was more pronounced in patients with extorsion in operative eye compared to those with extorsion in inoperative eye (P = 0.0101). The improvement of ocular torsion was observed following R&R for IXT, with a greater effect noted in cases where the surgery was performed on the eye exhibiting extorsion.

To evaluate pre- and postoperative changes in the subjective awareness of exodeviation in patients with intermittent exotropia and compare pediatric and adult patients. This retrospective study included pediatric (6-17 years) and adult patients (≥18 years) with intermittent exotropia who underwent surgery. Patients with subjective awareness of exodeviation associated with exotropia were included. Postoperative improvement was defined as a decrease in the subjective awareness of exodeviation and alleviation of associated symptoms after surgery. Changes in subjective awareness of exodeviation after surgery were evaluated and compared between pediatric and adult patients. Clinical factors associated with postoperative improvement in subjective awareness of exodeviation were analyzed. A total of 195 patients (159 pediatric and 36 adult) were included. Among the included patients, 145 (74.4%, 145/195) reported postoperative improvements in their subjective awareness of exodeviation. A lower percentage of adult patients (15/36, 41.7%) showed postoperative improvement in subjective awareness of exodeviation than that of pediatric patients (130/159, 81.8%, Pâ <â .001). The level of distant control was significantly associated with postoperative improvement in subjective awareness of exodeviation in adult patients (odds ratio, 1.151; 95% confidence interval, 0.030-0.758; Pâ =â .022). There was a significant difference in the postoperative change in the subjective awareness of exodeviation between pediatric and adult patients with intermittent exotropia. Adult patients are less likely to exhibit postoperative improvement in subjective awareness of exodeviation than pediatric patients. Adult patients with a better level of distant control are more likely to show postoperative improvement in their subjective awareness of exodeviation.

AIM: This retrospective clinical study evaluates the results of surgical treatment of patients diagnosed with intermittent exotropia of the divergence excess type. The study compares the results of surgery delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic (patients underwent the surgery after the age of eight), versus a group of younger children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The objective angle of deviation and quality of binocular functions were examined. The follow-up period was six months after surgery. The patients were divided into two groups according to age: 4-7 years and 8-13 years. Each group included 20 patients. The second group comprised patients whose surgery was postponed due to restrictions on elective surgery during the ongoing pandemic. The surgery took place at the University Hospital in Pilsen. Angle of deviation and binocular functions were examined before surgery, postoperatively, and three and six months after surgery. Data were collected retrospectively and statistically processed. The main values were plotted in charts. RESULTS: Accordance between the angle of deviation before surgery in both groups was statistically demonstrated. During the six-month follow-up period, the median angle of deviation was statistically without proof of disparity between the groups. Six months after surgery, an objective angle of deviation within the limit ±5 degrees was achieved in 65% of patients from the first group and in 75% from the second group. Binocular vision before surgery was statistically without proof of difference between both groups. However the statistical processing demonstrated a difference between the two groups six months after the surgery. Better binocular functions were achieved by the younger children in the first group. CONCLUSION: The objective deviation angle was comparable in both study groups prior to surgery as well as six months after the surgery. The first group of younger patients attained a higher quality of binocular functions within the six-month follow-up period compared to children operated on after the age of eight. This claim was statistically verified.

PURPOSE: This study is to investigate the impact of the coexistence of basic intermittent exotropia and vertical incomitance in the form of the V and sub-V pattern on the results of surgical correction of intermittent exotropia. METHODS: The records of 81 pediatric patients who had surgery for intermittent exotropia and a follow-up of more than 1 year were reviewed retrospectively. They were divided into groups: a concomitant group which underwent only horizontal muscle surgery of bilateral lateral rectus recession and a V pattern group which had additional inferior oblique recession, further separated into two subgroups: ≥ 15 prism diopters (classic V pattern group) and ≥ 10 < 15 prism diopters (sub-V pattern group). The surgical outcome, deviation control, stereoacuity, and postoperative drift were assessed after 3 months and 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS: Patients with sub-V and classic V pattern intermittent exotropia showed significantly better surgical success rate (p = 0.025) and less postoperative drift (p = 0.042) than patients without vertical incomitance. One year after surgery, successful surgical outcome was achieved in 83.72% of the vertically incomitant group: 80.76% for the classic V pattern and 88.24% for the sub-V pattern group, while only in 60.53% of nonpattern patients. CONCLUSIONS: Patients operated for intermittent exotropia with a coexistent V pattern have consistently better surgical long-term results than those with only horizontal deviation. Additional inferior oblique recessions in the sub V pattern group provided excellent outcomes with no overcorrections; therefore, surgeons should consider addressing vertical incomitance even when the typical criteria for the V pattern are not met.

PURPOSE: To determine subjective symptoms and medical history of patients with intermittent exotropia in a large study population. METHODS: The Korean Intermittent Exotropia Multicenter Study (KIEMS) is a nationwide, observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study conducted by the Korean Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus including 5,385 patients with intermittent exotropia. Subjective symptoms and medical history of patients with intermittent exotropia were extracted by a comprehensive survey based on a self-administered questionnaire according to the study protocol of the KIEMS. RESULTS: The mean age of symptom onset was 5.5 years. The most common symptom reported in patients with intermittent exotropia was photophobia (52.1%), followed by diplopia at near fixation (7.3%) and distance fixation (6.2%). Preterm birth was found in 8.8%, and 4.1% had perinatal complications. A family history of strabismus was present in 14.9%, and 5.5% of patients had a family member who underwent strabismus surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The KIEMS is one of the largest clinical studies on intermittent exotropia. Intermittent exotropia frequently caused photophobia and diplopia, and patients with a family history was not uncommon.

PURPOSE: While horizontal strabismus surgery is generally considered to have favorable outcomes, success rates can vary by type of procedure. Our purpose is to compare the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent one-muscle vs. two-muscle horizontal strabismus surgery. METHODS: This is a retrospective study comparing one-muscle to two-muscle strabismus surgery for small to moderate angle horizontal strabismus. Demographic data and eye exam parameters were compared at baseline and postoperatively (6 months up to 6 years). Surgical success was defined as a post-operative angle of 10 PD or less. We also compared outcomes by strabismus type: esotropia vs exotropia and adjusted the analysis for previous strabismus surgery. RESULTS: Out of 89 patients with moderate angle horizontal strabismus (25 PD or less), 17 patients had a one-muscle operation, and 72 patients had two-muscle surgery. The mean age was 14.12 ± 9.30 years and 11.70 ± 11.30 years for the one-muscle and two-muscle groups, respectively (p = .74). The baseline characteristics of both groups were comparable. Follow-up time was 32.82 ± 26.93 months in one-muscle and 37.67 ± 23.81 in two-muscle groups (p = .29). Success rate was 70.6% for the one-muscle group and 68.10% for the two-muscle group (p = .69). Outcomes were similar when divided into esotropia and exotropia. The success rate was not affected by previous strabismus surgeries nor by the initial angle of deviation. CONCLUSION: One-muscle and two-muscle horizontal strabismus surgery had similar long-term outcomes and did not differ by strabismus type nor by angle of deviation.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the preoperative clinical features of patients with sensory esotropia (ET) and sensory exotropia (XT). METHODS: In a retrospective study, the medical records of 13,252 patients who underwent strabismus surgery were reviewed at the Farabi Eye Hospital, Iran, from 2012 to March 2022. There were 1017 patients with sensory horizontal strabismus whose, in their worse eye, had corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) equal to or <20/160 tested with the Snellen chart. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 29.0 ± 12.4 years [574 (56.4%) males and 443 (43.6%) females]. Sensory XT and ET were observed in 717 (70.5%) and 300 (29.5%) patients, respectively (P<.001). The mean CDVA in the strabismic and non-strabismic eyes was 1.40 ± 0.75 and 0.05 ± 0.13, respectively (P<.001). Also, the CDVA in the strabismic eyes was significantly worse in the patients with sensory XT than in the patients with sensory ET (P<.001). Sphere and spherical equivalent (SE) components were more hyperopic in both eyes of patients with sensory ET than sensory XT (P<.001). In sensory ET group, the mean horizontal deviation at far and near was significantly higher than the sensory XT group (both P<.001). The prevalence of moderate and severe amblyopia among all patients with sensory strabismus was 274 (26.9%) and 727 (71.5%), respectively (P<.001). There were 398 (39.1%) patients who needed more than one surgery. CONCLUSION: The frequency of sensory XT was about 2.5 times more than the sensory ET. Most patients with sensory ET were operated at a younger age, had better CDVA, more hyperopic spherical and SE, and higher angle of deviation compared with patients with sensory XT. The chance of reoperation in patients with sensory strabismus was about 40%.

Aberrant regeneration occurs in forms of oculomotor motor nerve palsy and frequently involves the pupil, but the incidence and functional impact of ciliary muscle involvement in pediatric patients is sparsely reported in the literature. A 4-year-old girl presented with inflammatory oculomotor motor nerve paresis affecting the inferior division. Initial treatment focused on her inability to accommodate through her physiologic +2.5 D hyperopia and the prevention and treatment of amblyopia. She subsequently developed aberrant regeneration of the pupil, with miosis on adduction. Following eye muscle surgery for residual exotropia and hypertropia, her dry refraction was noted to be more myopic in the affected eye on adduction, mirroring aberrant pupillary constriction. Recognition of pediatric aberrant regeneration of accommodation may influence surgical planning for oculomotor nerve palsy and/or management of amblyopia.

PURPOSE: To evaluate parental perspectives and concerns regarding exotropia surgery and compare them with clinicians' predictions of parental responses in Korean pediatric patients with intermittent exotropia. METHODS: This survey study included the parents of pediatric patients with intermittent exotropia who underwent surgery and clinicians at five hospitals from June 2022 to February 2023, who participated in the Survey of Parental Attitude and Concerns of Exotropia surgery (SPACE) study 1. Parental attitudes and concern about exotropia surgery were assessed using a questionnaire. Clinicians' estimation of each item corresponding to the parental questionnaire was also assessed and compared with parental responses. RESULTS: A total of 266 parents and 41 clinicians were included. More parents responded that information about surgery was most helpful or most commonly received from clinicians than clinicians estimated (P = 0.001). More parents reported actively communicating with the child about surgery than clinicians estimated (P < 0.001). Parents showed a higher level of concern for general anesthesia and the hospital environment than clinicians thought they would (P = 0.002 and P < 0.001, resp.). In the postoperative follow-up items, parents showed high levels of concern regarding postoperative infection (P < 0.001), conjunctival redness (P = 0.040), persistent overcorrection (P < 0.001), and glasses wearing (P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: Parental perspectives and concerns regarding pediatric intermittent exotropia surgery differed from clinicians' estimations thereof. More parents obtain information on exotropia surgery from clinicians and actively talk about surgery with their child than estimated by clinicians.

PURPOSE: To analyze and compare the outcome of two different surgical procedures in patients with complete oculomotor nerve palsy with large-angle exotropia. METHODS: The medical records of patients with total oculomotor nerve palsy and large-angle exotropia operated on at a single center from January 2006 to June 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. One group underwent lateral rectus deactivation with medial rectus resection (resection group); the other group underwent lateral rectus deactivation with medial rectus fixation to the medial palpebral ligament (fixation group). Surgical outcomes on the first postoperative day and at 6 months postoperatively were analyzed, including alignment and postoperative complications. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 14. A P value of <0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: A total of 35 patients were included. There was a trend toward greater surgical success in the fixation group (93%) than in the resection group (65%), but these results were not statistically significant. Postoperative exotropic drifts were noted in both the procedures but tended to be more with patients in the resection group. Postoperative complications were noted only in the fixation group. CONCLUSIONS: Lateral rectus deactivation with medial rectus fixation to the medial palpebral ligament requires more time and greater surgical expertise but appears to better prevent postoperative exotropic drift compared with lateral rectus deactivation combined with medial rectus resection.

PURPOSE: To compare a single surgeon's surgical outcomes for treating intermittent exotropia using bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLR), unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection (RR), and unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus plication (RP). METHODS: A retrospective review of all surgeries for basic intermittent exotropia between 2015 and 2023 was performed. Only patients with initial correction using BLR, RR, or RP were included. Exclusion criteria included age older than 18 years, vertical deviation, any nonrefractive ocular diagnoses, prior ocular surgery, and inadequate follow-up. RESULTS: There were 460 patients identified; 123 met inclusion criteria with 54 in the BLR group, 41 in the RR group, and 28 in the RP group. The average pre-operative distance alignment (and standard error) values for the BLR, RR, and RP groups were 25.07 (7.35), 22.44 (5.95), and 23.84 (6.42) prism diopters (PD), respectively. At 1 year, the postoperative distance alignment values for the BLR, RR, and RP groups were 8.72 (7.89), 7.46 (6.31), and 12.83 (6.82) PD, respectively (P = .03). A subanalysis found a significant difference between the BLR and RP (P = .02) and RR and RP (P = .02) groups. There was no difference between the BLR and RR groups (P = .57). CONCLUSIONS: This study of three surgical approaches for intermittent exotropia found RP had a significantly larger angle of exodeviation compared to BLR and RR at 1 year of follow-up. Both BLR and RR were equally effective approaches for treating intermittent exotropia. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2024;61(4):287-290.].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the recovery of binocular stereopsis recovery and its influencing factors in children with intermittent exotropia after successful correction of eye position. METHODS: Prospective clinical study. A total of 178 patients, aged 9 â¼ 14 (10.8 ± 1.7) years, who were successfully corrected after intermittent exotropia surgery at the Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from October 2023 to September 2023 were collected, the follow-up duration was six-month or longer. Paired t test, Pearson correlation analysis and multivariable linear regression analysis were used to probe preoperative clinical features that may predict the stereopsis six months after surgery. RESULTS: Six months after surgery, the angle of deviation of the patients met the orthotopic standard, and there was significant difference compared with that before surgery (distant: -2.7â³±3.2â³ vs. -30.5â³±8.4â³, t=-25.3, P < 0.001. Near:-3.7â³±4.1â³ vs. -33.7â³±8.0â³, t=-26.1, P < 0.001). Distant stereopsis (3.0 ± 0.6 vs. 3.9 ± 0.4, t = 4.9, P < 0.05) and near stereopsis (2.3 ± 0.5 vs. 2.6 ± 0.4, t = 3.8, P < 0.05) were both significantly improved compared with that of before surgery. 17% and 22% patients rebuilt normal distant stereopsis and normal near stereopsis, respectively. Preoperative distant stereopsis (r=-0.26, P = 0.004) and near stereopsis (r=-0.23, P = 0.011) was significantly negatively correlated with convergence reserve. Multivariable analysis showed that patients' age (ß = 0.003, p = 0.037), anisometropia (ß = 0.015, p = 0.043), and preoperative distant stereopsis (ß = 0.456, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with postoperative distant stereopsis. Patients' age (ß = 0.005, p = 0.044), anisometropia (ß = 0.127, p = 0.034), angle of deviation (ß=-0.230, p = 0.020), and preoperative near stereopsis (ß = 0.136, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with postoperative near stereopsis. CONCLUSION: IXT patients could get eye position fixed after surgery, about 20% patients benefited from stereopsis improvement. Patient's age, binocular anisometropia, angle of deviation and preoperative stereopsis were independent factors influencing postoperative stereopsis.

PURPOSE: To report the result of strabismus surgery in eye-salvaged retinoblastoma (Rb) patients. METHODS: A retrospective case series including 18 patients with Rb and strabismus who underwent strabismus surgery after completing tumor treatment by a single pediatric ophthalmologist. RESULTS: A total of 18 patients (10 females and 8 males) were included with a mean age of 13.3 ± 3.0 (range, 2-39) months at the time tumor presentation and 6.0 ± 1.5 (range, 4-9) years at the time of strabismus surgery. Ten (56%) patients had unilateral and 8(44%) had bilateral involvement and the most common worse eye tumor's group was D (n = 11), C (n = 4), B (n = 2) and E (n = 1). Macula was involved by the tumors in 12 (67%) patients. The tumors were managed by intravenous chemotherapy (n = 8, 47%), intra-arterial chemotherapy (n = 7, 41%) and both (n = 3, 17%). After complete treatment, the average time to strabismus surgery was 29.9 ± 20.5 (range, 12-84) months. Except for one, visual acuity was equal or less than 1.0 logMAR (≤ 20/200) in the affected eye. Seven (39%) patients had exotropia, 11(61%) had esotropia (P = 0.346) and vertical deviation was found in 8 (48%) cases. The angle of deviation was 42.0 ± 10.4 (range, 30-60) prism diopter (PD) for esotropic and 35.7 ± 7.9 (range, 25-50) PD for exotropic patients (P = 0.32) that after surgery significantly decreased to 8.5 ± 5.3 PD in esotropic cases and 5.9 ± 6.7 PD in exotropic cases (P < 0.001). The mean follow-up after surgery was 15.2 ± 2.0 (range, 10-24) months, in which, 3 (17%) patients needed a second surgery. CONCLUSION: Strabismus surgery in treated Rb is safe and results of the surgeries are acceptable and close to the general population. There was not associated with tumor recurrence or metastasis.
