Early Results of Slanted Recession of the Lateral Rectus Muscle for Intermittent Exotropia With Convergence Weakness

Kyungpook National University Hospital31 enrolled

Overview

This study was conducted to evaluate results of slanted recession of the lateral rectus muscle for intermittent exotropia with convergence weakness

This prospective study included 31 patients who underwent slanted lateral rectus muscle recession for intermittent exotropia with convergence weakness. Measurements of preoperative and postoperative deviation angle, stereopsis was performed.
