Therapeutic effects of concomitant exotropia surgery / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of strabismus surgery for treatment of concomitant exotropia and analyze the influential factors. Methods From 2000 to 2004, 95 patients hospitalized in our department underwent strabismus surgery and followed up for one week to 3 years. We retrospectively analyzed the deviation and superior sensory outcome at week 1 (95 cases) and week 6 (58 cases) after surgery. Results Seventy-four cases (82.11%) were completely corrected in one-week follow-up, and 46 cases (79.31%) in six-week follow-up. Nineteen cases (32.76%) recovered superior sensory. Conclusion Timely surgery of concomitant exotropia can improve not only the appearance but also the function of the eyes.
