Summary
Intermittent divergent strabismus, characterized by motoric rather than sensory issues, showed limited cure rates in a study of 156 patients. Microexotropia with abnormal retinal correspondence was more common than anticipated.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neuroscience
Context:
- Investigated intermittent divergent strabismus in 156 patients across two clinics.
- Focused on motoric characteristics over sensorial basis.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of intermittent divergent strabismus.
- To assess the effectiveness of treatment and diagnostic criteria.
Summary:
- Only 27 patients were cured.
- Subnormal binocular vision due to facultative microexotropia was common (78 cases).
- Basic microexotropia with obligate abnormal retinal correspondence (ARC) occurred more frequently than expected (51 cases).
Impact:
- Highlights the challenges in treating intermittent divergent strabismus.
- Suggests abnormal retinal correspondence is a significant factor.
- Indicates stereo threshold testing is insufficient for cure assessment.
