This review found no randomized controlled trials on intermittent distance exotropia management. More research is needed to establish optimal treatment criteria and timing for this common eye condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Strabismus Management

Background:

  • Intermittent distance exotropia management lacks clear guidelines on intervention indications, treatment types, and optimal age.
  • Existing literature primarily comprises retrospective case reviews with significant variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review intervention criteria for intermittent distance exotropia.
  • To assess the efficacy of surgical and non-surgical treatments.
  • To determine the impact of patient age on treatment outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search including CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and LILACS databases.
  • Manual searches of key ophthalmology and strabismus journals and conference proceedings.
  • Inclusion of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for surgical or non-surgical treatments.

Main Results:

  • No randomized controlled trials (RCTs) met the selection criteria for analysis.
  • The absence of RCTs highlights a significant gap in high-quality evidence.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence is limited due to the heterogeneity of retrospective studies.
  • Non-surgical treatment appears suitable for small deviations or as an adjunct to surgery.
  • Optimal timing for surgical intervention remains inconclusive; further well-designed clinical trials are essential.
