Abstract:
:We 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.
