Botox or prism medicine for sudden eye turn
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to prism glasses for treating a sudden, small-angle eye turn (esotropia) that causes double vision. It aims to find which treatment works better for this specific condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a sudden eye turn (esotropia) that started recently and causes double vision.
- Your eye turn is 25 prism diopters or less.
- You must have good vision (20/20 or better) in both eyes.
- A brain scan (CT or MRI) has ruled out any brain-related cause for your eye turn.
- You have not had any other eye diseases or eye surgeries in the past.
- You do not have any serious brain disorders or overall body diseases.

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 trial tests if adding mild electrical brain stimulation to standard vision exercises helps improve focus better than exercises alone. It is for people with certain eye focusing disorders like acute esotropia or presbyopia.
This trial compares a toxin injection (Botulinum Toxin A) to traditional eye muscle surgery for children with certain types of esotropia (crossed eyes). It aims to see which treatment works better for angles between 10 and 30 prism diopters.
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 a safe, purified protein (botulinum toxin) can help straighten eyes that are misaligned (esotropia or exotropia). It is for people with small-to-moderate eye turns, including those from nerve issues, thyroid disease, or after surgery.
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.
