Mirror exercises for eye alignment after strabismus surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests if doing eye exercises in front of a mirror can improve control of intermittent exotropia (a type of outward eye turn) in children who had strabismus surgery six months ago.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special near-vision training exercise can help improve control of eyes that turn outward (a condition called intermittent exotropia). The training focuses on the eye muscles' ability to work together at different distances, and may help reduce the need for surgery.
This trial tests visual training to improve how the eyes work together in children with intermittent exotropia (a condition where one eye drifts outward). It might help strengthen eye control and reduce the drifting.
This trial tests whether a structured vision therapy program can improve control of intermittent outward eye turning (intermittent exotropia) in children. You may be placed into one of the study groups (randomized), and the results will help doctors understand who benefits most and how well it works.
This trial tests ways to improve control of intermittent exotropia, a type of eye misalignment that comes and goes, without surgery for at least 6 months.
This study looks at how strabismus (misaligned eyes) affects balance before and after surgery. It may help patients understand if their eye condition influences their stability.
This study looks at risks and results of a second (or more) surgery to fix horizontal eye misalignment (strabismus) that came back or wasn't fully fixed the first time. It may help if you or your child have already had eye muscle surgery and need another one.
