Résumé
@#Silver-Russell Syndrome (SRS) is a rare disorder associated with prenatal and postnatal growth retardation with associated characteristic facial and ocular features including strabismus. We report the outcome of strabismus surgery performed for exotropia in a 4-year-old patient with SRS. The patient presented with decreased visual acuity and constant exotropia of the right eye noted since 3 months of age. Systemic SRS characteristics consisted of relative macrocephaly, short stature, forehead prominence and stunted growth pattern. An X-pattern exotropia is consistent with bilateral tight lateral recti muscles with overelevation in adduction of the left eye was present. Patient underwent unilateral right lateral rectus recession and right medial rectus resection for a 50-prism diopter constant exotropia. Patient had a favorable outcome of within 8 prism diopters from orthotropia at 1st, 3rd-, 6th- and 12th-month post-operatively.

In this study, we explored the neural mechanism underlying impaired stereopsis and possible functional plasticity after strabismus surgery. We enrolled 18 stereo-deficient patients with intermittent exotropia before and after surgery, along with 18 healthy controls. Functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected when participants viewed three-dimensional stimuli. Compared with controls, preoperative patients showed hypoactivation in higher-level dorsal (visual and parietal) areas and ventral visual areas. Pre- and postoperative activation did not significantly differ in patients overall; patients with improved stereopsis showed stronger postoperative activation than preoperative activation in the right V3A and left intraparietal sulcus. Worse stereopsis and fusional control were correlated with preoperative hypoactivation, suggesting that cortical deficits along the two streams might reflect impaired stereopsis in intermittent exotropia. The correlation between improved stereopsis and activation in the right V3A after surgery indicates that functional plasticity may underlie the improvement of stereopsis. Thus, additional postoperative strategies are needed to promote functional plasticity and enhance the recovery of stereopsis.

La exotropía sensorial se define como una desviación ocular divergente unilateral o bilateral, dada por anomalías oculares congénitas o adquiridas; es más frecuente en adultos. El objetivo de la cirugía de estrabismo en el adulto es restablecer la visión binocular, reduciendo la diplopía y al lograr el alineamiento ocular, mejorar su estética, por lo que antes de realizar la cirugía se debe tratar la causa que provoca la baja visión. El procedimiento quirúrgico de elección es la cirugía monocular, pero si la desviación es grande se realizará cirugía binocular. Se presenta una paciente femenino de 25 años de edad portadora de lentes de contacto por miopía elevada del ojo derecho (9,00 -0.75 x 105º con 0,2 de agudeza visual mejor corregida), exotropía de más de 25º por Hirschberg, limitación de aducción del ojo derecho y por método de oclusor y prismas a 6 metros sin cristales y con sus lentes de contacto, ambos ojos 50 ∆ b interna, no estereopsia y suprime ojo derecho. Por todas las ventajas que presenta la cirugía monocular, se decidió realizarla en el ojo derecho, se colocó anestesia local peribulbar, se realizó recesión amplia del recto lateral a 12 mm y se realizó 8 mm de resección del recto medial; en el postoperatorio se logró 10 ∆ b interna y por momentos ortotropia; refirió diplopía post quirúrgica que resolvió espontáneamente. Los resultados quirúrgicos en la exotropía sensorial son menos alentadores ya que con el tiempo pueden evolucionar hacia la hipercorrección o hacia la recurrencia(AU)
Sensory exotropía is defined as a unilateral or bilateral divergent ocular deviation, given by congenital or acquired ocular anomalies, and is more frequent in adults. The objective of the strabismus surgery in adults is to reestablish binocular vision, reduce diplopía, improve ocular alignment and enhance quality of life; before performing surgery the cause of low vision should be treated. The preferred surgical procedure is a monocular approach, but if there is a large deviation a binocular procedure should be performed. The case presented Is a 25 year-old female with high myopia of the right eye (-9.00 -0.75 x 105º with 0.2 of best corrected visual acuity), exotropía of more than 25º for Hirschberg, limitation of aducción of the right eye and with both the oclusor method and prisms to 6 meters without glasses and with her contact lenses, both eyes have 50∆ of internal base, no estereopsia and suppression of the right eye. For its advantages a monocular approach (of the right eye) was preferred, with peribulbar anesthesia: recession to 12mm of the lateral rectus combined with 8 mm of resection of the medial rectus; in the postoperative she presented a 10∆ intern base deviation and for moments ortotropia; she referred diplopia that solved spontaneously. The surgical results in sensory exotropía are less encouraging since they have higher hypercorrection and recurrence rates(AU)

Objective@#To compare the postoperative alignment of patients surgically corrected for esotropia or exotropia 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery.@*Method@#This retrospective study reviewed clinical records of patients who underwent horizontal muscle surgery at the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital from 2010 to 2014. The changes in alignment from 1 week to 6 weeks and from 1 week to 6 months after surgery were compared for overcorrection, undercorrection, and adequate correction groups. ANOVA and Pearson correlation were used.@*Results@#Twenty two esotropia and 10 exotropia patients were included. Overcorrected esotropia patients had an esotropic change in alignment (15.50+13.44 PD after 6 weeks, p=0.026; 25+18.38 PD after 6 months, p=0.008). Under corrected esotropia patients had an exotropic change in alignment (-1.25+5.91 PD after 6 weeks, p=0.026;-4.38+14.16 PD after 6 months, p=0.008). Undercorrected exotropia patients had an esotropic change in alignment (6.67+6.35 PD after 6 weeks, p=0.028; 6+9.85 PD after 6 months, p=0.024). The presence of vertical deviations in esotropia caused an exotropic change in alignment after 6 months (p=0.03).@*Conclusion@#Although an exotropic drift is more commonly reported, fusional vergences may account for postoperative alignment changes towards orthotropia.

Resumo Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de fatores predisponentes de baixa acuidade visual entre os alunos do Colégio Universitário Geraldo Reis em Niterói-RJ. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional transversal realizados em duas etapas. A primeira realizou-se a medida da acuidade visual dos alunos voluntários que aderiram ao termo de assentimento. Na segunda etapa foram selecionados aqueles alunos cuja acuidade visual não ultrapassaram 0,8 em pelo menos um dos olhos ou que apresentaram diferença de acuidade visual entre os olhos de duas linhas ou mais na tabela de Snellen, sendo encaminhados para avaliação oftalmológica completa no Serviço de Oftalmologia do Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro / Universidade Federal Fluminense. Resultados: Do total de 325 alunos matriculados, 134 (41,2%) participaram da primeira etapa do estudo e, destes, apenas 39 (29%) apresentaram baixa visão. Dos 39 alunos selecionados para a segunda etapa do estudo, apenas 14 (36%) se voluntariaram a prosseguir para avaliação oftalmológica completa, tendo as ametropias (57,14%), a ambliopia (21,42%) e o estrabismo (14,28%) como as principais causas de baixa visual identificadas. Conclusão: A prevalência de baixa visão(low vision=baixa visão tem definição, não se chama baixa visual) para essa comunidade foi de 29% e as principais causas identificadas foram as ametropias, as ambliopias e o estrabismo. Campanhas de conscientização e os problemas de adesão aos programas de triagem devem ser considerados em novos estudos.
Abstract Purpose: To determine the prevalence of predisposing factors of low visual acuity among the students of the Geraldo Reis University College in Niterói-RJ. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study during which the visual acuity of the volunteer students who adhered to the assent term was measured. Those students whose visual acuity did not exceed 0.8 in at least one eye or who presented a difference between the eyes of two lines or more in the Snellen table were selected for the next stage of the study and were referred for complete ophthalmologic evaluation in the Service of Ophthalmology of the Antônio Pedro University Hospital / Fluminense Federal University. Results: Of the total of 325 students enrolled, 134 (41.2%) participated in the first stage of the study and of these, only 39 (29%) presented visual impairment. Of the 39 students selected for the second phase of the study, only 14 (36%) volunteered to proceed for a complete ophthalmologic evaluation, with ametropias (57.14%), amblyopia (21.42%) and strabismus (14, 28%) as the main causes of visual impairment identified. Conclusion: The prevalence of visual impairment for this community was 29% and the main causes identified were ametropias, amblyopia and strabismus. Awareness campaigns and problems of adherence to screening programs should be considered in new studies.

RESUMEN La caracterización de las poleas de los músculos extraoculares ha sido de gran trascendencia en la fisiopatología del equilibrio óculo-motor. El efecto mecánico de la polea funcional es cambiar el eje de acción del músculo de acuerdo con la orientación que el globo ocular presente. Los trastornos en la localización o estabilidad de las poleas pueden crear patrones de estrabismo incomitante. Es importante el conocimiento de estas anomalías porque los procedimientos quirúrgicos estándar no corrigen los desplazamientos de las poleas. Se realizó una búsqueda del tema de los últimos 10 años utilizando la plataforma de infomed(AU)
ABSTRACT Characterization of extraocular muscle pulleys has had great relevance in the physiopathology of ocular motor balance. The mechanical effect of the functional pulley is to change the axis of action of the muscle in keeping with the orientation of the eyeball. Pulley location or stability disorders may create incomitant strabismus patterns. It is important to be aware of these anomalies because standard surgical procedures do not correct pulley displacement. A search was conducted on the Infomed platform of papers published about the topic in the past ten years(AU)

RESUMEN Los quistes epidermoides constituyen el 1 % de los tumores intracraneales y el 7 % de los del ángulo pontocerebeloso. Los colesteatomas son lesiones benignas que se originan de restos de tejidos epitelial ectodérmicos que quedan en el sistema nervioso central, al cerrarse el tubo neural entre la tercera y quinta semana de gestación. Se trata de un paciente remitido de la Consulta de Neurooftalmología con crisis de cefalea y toma de los pares craneales III, IV, V, rama oftálmica desde hace 2 semanas. Se le realizaron estudios imagenológicos donde se constató un tumor hipodenso en región silviana frontotemporal izquierdo. Se interpretó como un quiste arcnoideo. Se le aplicó un bordaje pterional transilviano con apoyo neuroendoscópico y para sorpresa del equipo quirúrgico se abordó un tumor perlado solido identificado macroscópicamente como un colesteatoma silviano. Se resecó la totalidad del tumor cerebral.
ABSTRACT Epidermal inclusion cysts constitute 1% of the intracranial tumors and 7% of the cerebellopontine angle ones.Cholesteatoma are benign lesions originated from the remains of ectodermic epithelial tissues remaining in the central nervous system when the neural tube closes between the third and fifth week of pregnancy. The case deals with a patient remitted from the Neurophthalmologic Consultation with migraine crisis and lesion on the III, IV, V cranial nerves, ophthalmologic branch, for two weeks. Image studies were carried out, showing a hypo dense tumor in the left silvian frontotemporal region. It was taken as an arachnoid cyst. A pterional trans-silvian approach with neuroendoscopic support was applied, and the surgical team was surprised when they found a solid pearly tumor that was macroscopically identified as a silvian cholesteatoma. The cerebral tumor was totally resected.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and surgical impacts of phenomena that could occur in intermittent exotropia. Methods: The medical records of intermittent exotropia cases from 1991 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent a series of measures, including a protocol to assess monocular occlusion based on the propedeutics proposed by Kushner. Results: Outdoor sensitivity was observed in 31% of patients with an undercorrection rate of 44% vs. 18% of cases with no outdoor sensitivity. After 1 h of monocular occlusion, 41% of all patients achieved an increase in deviation with an undercorrection rate of 40%, whereas 25% did not. Conclusion: The results show the importance of complete propedeutics, since there is a higher rate of late undercorrection in cases with outdoor sensitivity and increased deviation after occlusion.

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a progressive and degenerative chromosomal disorder of the central nervous system caused by defective myelin production. Few case reports have been issued on the anesthetic management of PMD, because of its extremely low incidence. We anesthetized a 13-year-old female patient diagnosed with PMD for ophthalmic surgery because of intermittent exotropia. General anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol and sevoflurane in air and oxygen. Rocuronium was administered to facilitate orotracheal intubation, and residual neuromuscular blockage was reversed with pyridostigmine. Between emergence to 24 hours postoperatively, her muscle power completely recovered and no unpredictable events occurred. Summarizing, anesthesiologists should be concerned about the high possibility of aspiration, spasticity, and seizure during the perioperative period in patients with even mild PMD. Appropriate preoperative evaluation, intraoperative monitoring, and choice of proper anesthetic drugs enable safe anesthesia in patients with PMD.

PURPOSE: To investigate the recovery period of overcorrection and related factors after surgery in pediatric patients with basic intermittent exotropia (XT). METHODS: Retrospective chart reviews of the medical records of patients who underwent bilateral lateral rectus recession for basic XT were analyzed. Preoperative age, sex, angle of deviation (prism diopters [PD]), and suppression at distance were measured. Patients were observed every week when the angle of deviation was > 2 PD of overcorrection at postoperative day 1. Recovery of overcorrection was defined as improvement of overcorrection with orthotropia. Patients were divided into two groups according to age: younger (group 1) and older (group 2) than 10 years of age. Success was defined as an angle of deviation between 10 PD of exodeviation and 5 PD of esodeviation at the final visit. RESULTS: A total of 88 patients were included. At postoperative day 1, the angle of deviation at distance was −6.9 ± 2.2 PD, and the near angle of deviation was −6.9 ± 2.4 PD. Esodeviation presented as a minus value. The recovery period of overcorrection was 1.9 ± 3.9 weeks and the success rate was 80.7% (71 patients). The success rates of group 1 and group 2 were not statistically significant (p = 0.51). The recovery period of overcorrection in group 2 (2.7 ± 5.9 weeks) was significantly longer than in group 1 (1.8 ± 3.4 weeks) (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: In pediatric adolescents with basic XT, the surgical success rates did not differ significantly according to age, but recovery of overcorrection after strabismus surgery took longer in patients ≥ 10 years of age.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of medial rectus muscle plication compared to resection, coupled with antagonist muscle recession, as treatments for intermittent exotropia (IXT). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of IXT patients treated by a single surgeon and followed-up for at least 6 months between September 2016 and February 2017. The patients were divided into three groups: a bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession (BLR) group, a unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus plication (R&P) group, and a unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus resection (R&R) group. Serial changes in ocular alignment at 4–24 weeks after surgery were compared among the groups. In addition, the operative times were assessed. RESULTS: We included 119 patients (mean age 6.65 ± 2.79 years). The preoperative exodeviation was 29.81 ± 7.31 prism diopters (PDs) and did not differ among the groups. The R&P group exhibited significantly less postoperative deviation than the BLR group. The operative time was significantly less for the R&P group (25.77 ± 9.29 minutes) than the R&R group (28.97 ± 5.74 minutes). The success rates were identical among groups at 6 months; no severe adverse events were recorded apart from one case of dellen that improved after application of a topical agent. CONCLUSIONS: Plication may reduce the risk for anterior segment ischemia to a level lower than the risks associated with other procedures, and also facilitate reoperation if necessary. We found that R&P took less time but had success rate similar to BLR and R&R. Thus, medial rectus muscle plication for IXT patients is a valuable alternative procedure when the external rectus muscle requires strengthening.

PURPOSE: We report the outcomes of two- or three-muscle surgery on patients with large-angle exotropia exceeding 45 prism diopters (PDs). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data on 45 exotropia patients (> 45 PDs) who underwent two- or three-muscle surgery. We excluded patients with paralytic or restrictive strabismus, A- or V-pattern strabismus, a coexistent oblique dysfunction or nystagmus, and/or a history of prior extraocular muscle surgery. Only patients for whom at least 6 months of follow-up data were available were included. Successful surgery was defined as postoperative esotropia ≤ 5 PD, orthophoria, and exotropia ≤ 10 PD at the last visit. RESULTS: We included 45 patients, of whom 22 and 23 underwent two- and three-muscle surgery, respectively. The mean postoperative deviations were 9.5 and 2.7 PD in the two- and three-muscle groups, respectively; the overall success rates were 54.55% (12/22) and 91.30% (21/23). Subgroup analyses revealed that the surgical success rate of two-muscle operations was 66.67% (12/18) in 45–55 PD patients and 0% (0/4) in ≥ 55 PD patients; the success rates of three-muscle operations were 100% (7/7) and 87.50% (14/16). The success rate did not differ significantly between those with postoperative deviations of 45–55 PD (p = 0.137), but did between those who underwent two- and three-muscle operations to treat postoperative deviations of ≥ 55 PD (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Satisfactory results can be achieved via two-muscle surgery in patients with exotropia 55 PD, three-muscle surgery is superior to two-muscle surgery. Therefore, large-angle exotropia is optimally treated via three-muscle surgery.

BACKGROUND: To describe factors affecting the prognosis after operation for recurrent intermittent exotropia (X[T]) in children. METHODS: Clinical records of 50 patients who underwent operation for recurrent X(T) by a single surgeon were reviewed. The age at diagnosis of X(T), and first and second operations, deviation angle at distance and near, surgical method, concurrent vertical strabismus, stereoacuity, and Worth's Four Dot (W4D) examination before reoperation were analyzed, along with the postoperative deviation angle. A successful surgical outcome was defined as orthophoria, esodeviation ≤ 5 prism diopters, or exodeviation ≤ 10 prism diopters at distance. RESULTS: Among the 50 recurrent exotropes who underwent surgery and were followed up for more than 1 year postoperatively, 13 showed recurrent exotropia and 1 showed consecutive esotropia. The mean age at reoperation was 8.49 ± 2.19 years, and the mean duration of postoperative follow-up was 27.78 ± 12.02 months. Good near fusion before reoperation was a significant factor in the success of surgery (P = 0.006). Smaller postoperative deviation angle measured immediately and 2 months after surgery were related to smaller final deviation angle (P = 0.027 and P = 0.022, respectively). CONCLUSION: Peripheral suppression lowers the success rate of operation for recurrent X(T) in children. Overcorrection rather than orthotropia should be the target of immediate postoperative deviation angle. Peripheral suppression status and immediate and 2-month postoperative deviation angle may be important clues for predicting the final result of operation for recurrent X(T).

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of slanted lateral rectus recession in children for reducing distance and near exodeviation and near-distance deviation difference in intermittent exotropia with convergence insufficiency. METHODS: The medical records of 53 patients with convergence insufficiency intermittent exotropia who underwent slanted bilateral lateral rectus recession performed by a single surgeon and received follow-up for more than 12 months were retrospectively analyzed. Deviation angles at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively and on the last visit were reviewed. Surgical success was defined as postoperative residual distance and near deviation angles ≤8 prism diopters and a difference between the near and distance angles ≤8 prism diopters. RESULTS: The mean duration of follow-up was 24 months (range, 12 to 61 months). On the last visit, the residual deviation angles were ≤8 prism diopters in 75.5% for distance, 62.3% for near, and 81.1% for the near-distance difference. Surgical success was achieved in 31 (58.5%) patients, and none of them manifested limitations in eye movements or diplopia at the last follow-up visit. CONCLUSIONS: Slanted lateral rectus recession is an effective surgical method for reducing distance and near exodeviation and near-distance deviation difference in intermittent exotropia with convergence insufficiency.

PURPOSE: To address the natural course of intermittent exotropia with small exodeviations (less than 20 prism diopters [PD]) according to the status of suppression, and to evaluate whether suppression testing at the initial visit can assist in predicting the progression of intermittent exotropia. METHODS: Clinical records of patients at the Korea University Anam Hospital, Seoul, Korea diagnosed between January 2014 and December 2018 with basic-type intermittent exotropia and initial distance deviations of less than 20 PD, older than four years of age and a minimum of three follow-up visits within a 6-month span were retrospectively reviewed. The participants were divided into two groups, the suppression group and the non-suppression group, based on the Vectogram results at the initial visit. Clinical characteristics, rate of surgery, and rate of progression were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: A total of 71 patients were included. Among them, 16 patients (22.5%) had visual suppression at the initial visit, while 55 patients (77.5%) had no suppression. At the initial visit, the mean distant angle of deviation was 13.7 ± 3.2 PD (range, 4 to 18 PD) in the suppression group and 12.7 ± 3.4 PD (range, 10 to 18 PD) in the non-suppression group. Ten patients (62.5%) underwent surgery in the suppression group and 12 patients (21.8%) underwent surgery in the non-suppression group (p < 0.01). Eleven patients (68.8%) in the suppression group and 13 (23.6%) in the non-suppression group developed progression (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Suppression testing was important to predict the progression of intermittent exotropia, in patients with exodeviation angles less than 20 PD at the initial visit.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes of modified medial rectus (MR) resection using a lowered amount of MR resection for recurrent exotropia after bilateral lateral rectus (LR) recessions. METHODS: Fifty-six patients, who underwent MR resection from 2003 to 2017 for recurrent exotropia after bilateral LR recessions, were included. MR resection was performed using modified MR resection with a smaller amount of resection than the standard of 4 mm resection at 20 prism diopters (PD) of exotropia. Postoperative surgical results at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years were classified as a success (5 PD esotropia [ET]-10 PD exotropia [XT]), overcorrection (>5 PD ET), and undercorrection (>10 PD XT). The clinical factors affecting surgical results at postoperative 6 month and 2 years were also evaluated. RESULTS: The success rate was 78.2% at postoperative 1 month and 87.5% at postoperative 6 months. The overcorrection rate was 21.8% and the undercorrection rate was 0% at postoperative 1 month. At postoperative 6 months, the overcorrection rate decreased to 0% and the undercorrection rate was 12.5%. The success rate was 85.7% at postoperative 1 year and 66.6% at postoperative 2 years. There was no clinical factor affecting the surgical outcomes except the ocular alignment at postoperative 1 month. The deviation at postoperative 1 month was more esotropic in patients with success at postoperative 6 months and 2 years than that in patients with undercorrection (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The modified MR resection showed favorable results of 87.5% at postoperative 6 months and 85.7% at 1 year. The angle of deviation at postoperative 1 month was an indicator of subsequent surgical outcomes.

PURPOSE: We report a case of utilizing a previous silicone band track in the reoperation of scleral encircling. CASE SUMMARY: An 8-year-old male presented with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the right eye. Five days after this diagnosis, he received scleral buckling surgery and cryopexy to seal the retinal tear. One month after surgery, a fundus examination showed subretinal fluid at the inferior site of the scleral buckle. He underwent scleral encircling surgery and a cryopexy procedure. The patient has had an uneventful postoperative course, and the retina has remained attached over a follow-up period of 9 months. However, exotropia and hypotropia developed in the right eye. Diagnosis of restrictive strabismus due to tissue adhesion around the silicone band was made. The encircling band was therefore removed and laser photocoagulation was performed 360° around the retina. Twenty-four hours after surgery, a fundus examination showed subretinal fluid. He received 360° scleral encircling surgery not using the 360° conjunctival peritomy. After confirming a previous encircling tract using #0-0 polydioxanone as a guide, #5-0 Nylon was tied to the end of the guide and inserted through the encircling tract with the end sutured with the silicone band. The silicone band was inserted into the encircling tract by pulling the #5-0 Nylon as a guide. Ophthalmoscopy revealed an attached retina with indentation of the scleral buckle at 360°. CONCLUSIONS: For reoperation in patients who previously underwent scleral encircling surgery, using the previous scleral encircling tract may be effective in cases with conjunctival and tissue adhesion.

PURPOSE: To measure and analyze ocular deviations between dominant and non-dominant eyes using video-oculography (VOG) in intermittent exotropia. METHODS: Fourteen subjects who were diagnosed with intermittent exotropia from July 2017 to July 2018 with age of 5 or more, visual acuity of 20/30 or better and corrected visual acuity of 20/25 or more and difference in vision of both eyes of 1 line or less on Snellen optotype were included. The subjects were asked to fixate on a black-on-white optotype at 1 m, which subtended a visual angle of 50 minutes of arc. The video files and data about ocular deviations were obtained using VOG with alternate cover test. We analyzed angles of ocular deviations in dominant and non-dominant eyes. RESULTS: Among the 14 subjects in this study, the mean age were 7.6 ± 1.7 (range 5–9 years). Seven of 14 subjects had the right eye dominance. Six of the 14 subjects were men. There was no significant difference of ocular deviations between the dominant and non-dominant eyes in VOG (p = 0.167). Additionally, there was no significant difference of the values of VOG when one eye was exodeviated or re-fixated (p = 0.244), when both eyes were deviated, and when both eyes were re-fixated (p = 0.195, 0.637). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, there was no significant difference of ocular deviations between the dominant and non-dominant eyes, between when an eye was exodeviated or fixated using VOG. Therefore, it may not be a problem even if alternate prism cover test is performed in any eye in intermittent exotropia of more than 50 prism diopter without amblyopia or refraction abnormality that could affect the uncorrected visual acuity.
