Summary: In patients with intermittent exotropia, occlusion of both eyes reveals a state of alignment different from orthotropia, demonstrating that the deviation angle is actively mediated by visual feedback, which the fixating eye is capable of providing alone.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 221 patients with secondary exotropia who underwent medial rectus advancement surgery, finding that the success rate of surgery was correlated with the preoperative amount of esotropia, and there was postoperative exodrift present.

Summary: This retrospective case control study assessed the impact of bilateral lateral rectus recession on myopic progression in patients with intermittent exotropia. The results showed that the surgery did not significantly influence myopic progression in these patients.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy of BLR and RR for the treatment of IXT and found that both surgeries had similar success rates and reduced deviations postoperatively.

Summary: This meta-analysis showed that there were no differences in success rates or postoperative deviations between the BLR and RR groups for basic-type IXT patients. Both procedures were found to have similar efficacy in treating this condition.

Summary: A retrospective cohort study compared the long-term results of unilateral recession-resection (RR) and bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLR) surgeries in children with basic-type X(T) over an average 9.5-year follow-up. The study found that RR was more successful than BLR in terms of long-term outcomes, with a lower recurrence rate.

Summary: This study found that changes in low-order aberrations in children after lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection were myopic with-the-rule, while high-order aberrations changed within a week post-surgery and returned to normal within 3 months. Astigmatism was affected by axial length, the amount of surgery, age, and sex of the patients.

Summary: Slanted bilateral lateral rectus recession (S-BLRc) is an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia (CI-IXT) in children. The surgery can correct both distance and near exotropia, reduce near-distance difference, and improve binocular vision.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of resected muscle adjustment and conventional recessed muscle adjustment in patients with intermittent exotropia. It found that resected muscle adjustment led to better positional stability in the early post-adjustment period. However, there was no significant difference in the final outcome and surgical success rate between the two groups.

Summary: Early overcorrection after intermittent exotropia surgery was found to be safe and desirable in terms of motor outcome for children aged under 4 years, as well as for children aged between 4-16 years.

Summary: This retrospective study compared the efficacy of unilateral lateral rectus recession (ULR) and recess-resect (RR) procedures for convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia (CI-type IXT). The results showed that there was no significant difference in surgical success rate and postoperative exodeviation between ULR and RR, indicating that ULR is an effective treatment for CI-type IXT.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the surgical outcomes of unilateral lateral rectus recession in 58 children with moderate-angle exotropia aged 12 and younger. The results showed a significant improvement in exotropia angle postoperatively, with a success rate of 86.2%, and no intra- or postoperative complications.

Summary: This study aims to identify the risk of early recurrence in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT) after surgery. By observing 210 IXT patients, it was found that younger age at onset, larger preoperative angle, and less immediate postoperative overcorrection were associated with higher risk of recurrence. Nomograms were established to predict early recurrence in IXT patients.

Summary: This retrospective, observational study examined the surgical outcomes of bilateral inferior rectus recession in thyroid eye disease. The results showed that 9 out of 12 patients had successful surgical outcomes. There was a positive correlation between the amount of recession and nasal transposition of the inferior rectus muscle, and the changes in vertical and torsional ocular deviation angles.

Summary: This study evaluates the efficacy of part-time patching in preventing recurrence after bilateral lateral rectus recession in patients with intermittent exotropia. The study found that part-time patching can effectively maintain the surgical outcome and delay the need for reoperation. Patients with a recurrence of 7 to 10 PD showed better results.
