    Consecutive exotropia can develop years after esotropia surgery. Factors like amblyopia and medial rectus limitation may contribute to this condition in patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Strabismus Surgery

    Background:

    • Consecutive exotropia is a potential complication following surgical correction of esotropia.
    • The long-term implications of various esotropia surgery types on ocular alignment require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the occurrence and potential contributing factors of consecutive exotropia after esotropia surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 250 patients diagnosed with consecutive exotropia.
    • Examination of surgical history for all types of corrective esotropia procedures.

    Main Results:

    • Consecutive exotropia was observed across all studied types of esotropia corrective surgeries.
    • A significant time interval, potentially many years, was noted between initial surgery and the onset of consecutive exotropia.

  • Postoperative amblyopia and medial rectus muscle limitation were identified as common associated factors.

    • Conclusions:

    • Consecutive exotropia is a possible long-term outcome irrespective of the esotropia surgery technique used.
    • Ocular motility issues, specifically medial rectus limitation and the presence of amblyopia, are linked to the development of consecutive exotropia.
