Eye muscle thickness and amount of surgery to fix crossed eyes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how the thickness of a specific eye muscle affects the exact amount of surgery needed to correct crossed eyes. It aims to help doctors predict the right surgical dose for each person, which could lead to better outcomes and fewer repeat surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with comitant esotropia (a type of crossed eye where the eyes are misaligned the same way in all directions)
- Scheduled to have medial rectus recession (a surgery that loosens the inner eye muscle to help straighten the eyes) on one or both eyes
- No previous eye muscle surgery
- Not have incomitant esotropia (a type of crossed eye where the misalignment changes with the direction of gaze)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the heart rate changes when eye doctors move the eye muscles during strabismus (eye alignment) surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage this normal reflex during surgery.
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 tests whether doing special eye exercises in front of a mirror can help control eye alignment in children who still have intermittent exotropia (an eye that sometimes drifts outward) after having strabismus surgery. It compares two exercise programs to see which works better.
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.
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 trial looks at how strabismus surgery (to straighten the eyes) changes your eyeglass prescription and the shape of the front of your eye. It helps doctors understand how vision might be affected after the surgery.
