Botulinum toxin injection for treating eye misalignment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an eye turn (inward or outward) of mild to moderate size (less than 40 prism diopters).
- Your eye turn fits one of these situations: it started suddenly, you have extra eye turn left after surgery, you have double vision from a nerve palsy, or surgery is risky for you.
- You do not have conditions like ALS, Myasthenia Gravis, or Eaton-Lambert syndrome.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 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.
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 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.
