Overview

This study is designed to correct large-angle exotropia by monocular surgery. It compares two augmented recession techniques, which are recession with muscle transplantation and recession with Y splitting.

Interventions

  • Procedure muscle transplantation
    transplanting a resected part of medial rectus to the already recessed lateral rectus muscle
  • Procedure Y splitting
    Y splitting of the recessed lateral rectus muscle

Primary outcome measures

  • Ocular alignment [Time frame: from the operation till six months postoperatively]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • palpebral fissure height [Time frame: from preoperative to 6 months postoperative]
  • ocular incomitance [Time frame: from surgery till 6 months afterward]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Age should be of more than 6 years Exotropia of an angle ranging from 50 to 70 PD Myopic or hypermetropic refraction

Exclusion criteria

  • history of previous squint surgery significant vertical deviation incomitant squint in the form of paralytic or restrictive disorder any neurological disease

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
