Unilateral surgery appears more effective than bilateral surgery for intermittent exotropia. More research is needed to establish optimal treatment guidelines for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Clinical Trials
  • Strabismus Management

Background:

  • Clinical management of intermittent exotropia lacks clear guidelines on intervention timing and effectiveness.
  • Optimal surgical and non-surgical treatment strategies remain debated in existing literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review randomized trials on intermittent exotropia treatments.
  • To analyze intervention criteria and the impact of factors like age on outcomes.

Main Methods:

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

Main Results:

  • Only one eligible randomized trial was identified.
  • The trial indicated unilateral surgery is more effective than bilateral surgery for basic intermittent exotropia.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence is limited, primarily from retrospective reviews.
  • Further well-designed clinical trials are essential to strengthen the evidence base for intermittent exotropia management.
