Discussion

Retrospective analysis shows that early postoperative alignment and preoperative stereopsis influence success in intermittent exotropia surgery.

Surgical success was achieved in 74% of patients undergoing surgery for intermittent exotropia.
Preoperative stereopsis and postoperative overcorrection at one week were significantly associated with successful outcomes.
The study included 150 patients with intermittent exotropia of less than 50 prism diopters from 2013 to 2024.
Further prospective studies are warranted to validate the findings and explore additional predictive factors.

Srimanan et al. (2025) studied this question.
