Eye muscle surgery study for inward turning eyes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have inward-turning eyes (esotropia) that are the same in all directions
- You are scheduled for surgery to loosen one or both of the inner eye muscles
- You have not had any previous eye muscle surgery
- Your eye turn is not different when looking up, down, or to the side

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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.
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 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 the outcomes of strabismus (eye misalignment) care in Japan. It will review information from patients who were evaluated or treated recently to understand what treatments work best and improve future care.
