Botox injection vs prism glasses for sudden eye turn
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for a sudden, small inward eye turn that starts in adulthood: injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the eye muscle versus wearing special prism glasses. The goal is to see which treatment helps straighten the eye and reduce double vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a sudden inward turn of one or both eyes, or you see double, and the turn stays the same in all directions of gaze.
- The eye turn is small (25 prism diopters or less).
- Your vision in both eyes is good (at least 20/20) with glasses or contacts.
- You have had a CT or MRI scan of your head that shows no brain problems.
- Your eye turn does not get much smaller (more than 10 prism diopters) when you wear glasses.
- You have not had other eye diseases or eye surgery before.

This trial compares two non-surgical treatments—vision therapy exercises and prism glasses—for people with a recent, constant inward eye turn (esotropia) of a small angle. The goal is to see which approach works better to straighten the eyes.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for eye focusing problems: vision exercises combined with gentle electrical brain stimulation versus vision exercises alone. It aims to see if adding brain stimulation improves the ability to focus the eyes better than exercises alone.
This study compares two treatments for esotropia (inward turning of the eyes) in children and teens. One treatment is an injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the eye muscle, and the other is traditional eye muscle surgery. The goal is to see which treatment works better for improving eye alignment.
This study tests eye drops to improve how a child’s eyes line up and how well they can use both eyes together. It may help children with certain types of outward eye drifting (intermittent exotropia/exophoria).
This trial tests whether adjusting prism glasses over a shorter time helps people with symptomatic inward eye turn (esophoria) and whether surgery results are better after that adaptation. It may be helpful if you have double vision, eye strain, or headaches that worsen with fatigue or reading.
This study tests whether botulinum toxin (Botox) injections can improve eye misalignment (strabismus) in people whose eyes turn inward or outward. It may be an option if you have certain types of eye turns, have double vision from a nerve problem, or if eye surgery is not recommended for you.
