Long-Term Results of Exotropia: Can It Be Cured
American Orthoptic Journal, 09/15/09

Stager D et al. – Although short–term outcomes up to two months postoperative are important in establishing guidelines for surgery and the effectiveness of the adjustable techniques, long–term outcomes with lifetime tables will be necessary to determine a true cure rate. A multi–centered prospective study will be needed involving both alignment and sensory data. Inaccurate surgery, changes in the elasticity of the eye muscles and orbit, concurrent lifetime diseases, and trauma over a period of years and decades may make a permanent cure unrealistic.
