Comparing three surgical methods for large outward eye turn
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares three different surgical techniques for correcting a large outward eye turn (exotropia). If you have this condition and are a candidate for surgery, the study aims to find which approach gives the best result.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your eye turns outward (exotropia) by a large amount, measured at 50 prism diopters or more.
- You have not had any previous surgery for strabismus (eye misalignment).
- Your eye turn is not caused by a blocked or paralyzed eye muscle.
- You have never received Botox injections for your eye misalignment.

This study compares two surgical techniques for correcting large-angle outward eye deviation (exotropia). It aims to see which method is more effective and better maintains eye alignment when looking sideways.
This study compares two surgical methods to treat large-angle outward eye turning (exotropia) in patients over 6 years old. The surgery aims to correct eye alignment, and the trial helps find which technique works best.
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 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 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 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.
