Changes in the Interpupillary Distance Following General Anesthesia in Children With Intermittent Exotropia: A Predictor of Surgical Outcomes

Purpose: To determine whether changes in ocular alignment following general anesthesia, as measured by interpupillary distance, can be used as a predictor for surgical outcomes in children with intermittent exotropia. Methods: The authors obtained digital photographs of 40 children with exotropia and 20 children with epiblepharon (control group) before and immediately after induction of general anesthesia in the primary supine position....
