Surgieal Result of Intermittent Exotropia: Comparison of Sensory Anomaly

ABSTRACT

In this study, among intermittent exotropia cases, 38 cases indicating sensory anomaly of diplopia and 27 cases indicating sensory anomaly of suppression, and tried to compare the results of operation. Cases of diplopia ranged from 3 years of age to 21 years of age averaging 4.5 years of age, and the follow up period after operation ranged from 2 months to 18 months averaging 6.5 months. The success rate of operation in cases of diplopia was 92%(35/38), and that in cases of suppression was 74%(20/27). Consequently, among intermittent exotropia patiens indicating sensory anomaly the case of diplopia can be said to be higher in the success rate of operation than that of suppression.
