Postoperative changes of intermittent exotropia type as classified by 1-hour monocular occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate postoperative changes of the intermittent exotropia type as classified by 1-hour monocular occlusion test.

Design

Institutional, retrospective study.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 179 patients who had undergone surgery for intermittent exotropia with a postoperative follow-up of 6 months or more. We evaluated the exodeviation obtained before and after 1-hour monocular occlusion preoperatively and again at postoperative 1, 3 and 6 months. Intermittent exotropia was divided into 4 types according to Burian's classification. The main outcome measure was the distribution of intermittent exotropia type based on 1-hour monocular occlusion in both pre- and postoperative periods.

Results

Of the 179 patients, 152 (84.9%)
