Long-term outcomes of bilateral lateral rectus recession versus unilateral lateral rectus recession-medial rectus plication in children with basic type intermittent exotropia

To compare the long-term surgical outcomes between bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLR) and unilateral lateral rectus recession-medial rectus plication (RP) in intermittent exotropia. Children who underwent BLR or RP for basic type intermittent exotropia between 2015 and 2016 with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years were retrospectively reviewed.
