Abstract
The earlier the treatment of IXT, the better the sensory outcome
including binocular fusion and stereopsis.
Unless there is definite evidence of existing defective binocular
vision, surgery should be preceded by several months of observation
since the disease does not progress in all patients. During this period
over correcting minus lenses can be prescribed.
Finally, over correcting minus lenses should be prescribed for IXT
patients with the following criteria:
High AC/A ratio
Moderate to good control of exotropia,
A temporizing measure for young patients waiting for surgery
and sometimes for patients with undercorrection after surgery
Overcorrection with minus lenses may improve the quality of fusion
and occasionally may even decrease the angle of deviation so that surgery
may be deferred.
Glasses should be prescribed for IXT patients with the
following criteria:
Refractive error either astigmatism or myopia,
Moderate to good control of exotropia,
Small angle of deviation.
Glasses may improve the quality of fusion and stereopsis. It
occasionally may even decrease the angle of deviation.
