Comparing three surgeries for large outward eye turn
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares three types of surgery for adults or children with a large outward eye turn (exotropia). If your eye turns outward by at least 50 prism diopters and you haven't had previous eye muscle surgery, this trial can help find the best approach for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your eye turns outward a large amount (50 prism diopters or more).
- You have not had surgery before for this eye turn.
- Your eye turn is not caused by a tight or weak muscle, or from past Botox injections.
- You are willing to compare three different surgical approaches.

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 trial looks at how the width of a specific eye muscle affects the amount of surgery needed to correct inward-turning eyes (esotropia). It may help doctors better predict surgical results.
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 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.
