The Relationship Between Velocity of Early Exotropic Drift and Recurrence

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between velocity of exotropic drift and recurrence after surgical correction of inter- mittent exotropia. Methods: The medical records were retrospectively reviewed preoperatively and at the following postoperative time peri- ods: 1 and 5 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months. The monthly change in alignment velocity in patients who demonstrated ten- dencies of exotropic drift was measured. The correlation between...
