Abstract
AbstractWe evaluated surgical outcomes of bilateral rectus (BLR) recession in patients with intermittent exotropia who underwent diagnostic monocular occlusion. Records of patients with intermittent exotropia who were preoperatively examined one-hour monocular occlusion and underwent BLR recession were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were classified into two groups based on change in exodeviation angle: responders (≥5 change in prism diopters [PD] after occlusion) or non-responders (<5 PD change after occlusion). BLR recession amount was determined by maximal angle deviation after occlusion tests in both groups. Overall follow-up period was 38.81 ± 24.09 months for non-responders (n = 106) and 38.52 ± 19.87 months for responders (n = 142) (p = 0.766). There was no difference in deviation before monocular occlusion between the two groups. Mean angle of deviation at distance (24.23 ± 6.27 PD) and near fixation (25.46 ± 6.78 PD) increased to distance (29.95 ± 6.43 PD) and near deviation (32.15 ± 6.17 PD) after occlusion in the responder group. At postoperative 1 year, surgical success rate was higher in responders (71.1%) than in non-responders (52.8%) (p = 0.003). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed significantly higher surgical success in responders (p = 0.001, log-rank test). Preoperative diagnostic monocular occlusion in patients with intermittent exotropia can influence surgical outcomes by identifying the latent exodeviation angle.
