Improving control of intermittent exotropia
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests ways to improve control of intermittent exotropia, a type of eye misalignment that comes and goes, without surgery for at least 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have intermittent exotropia (eyes sometimes drift outward) or exophoria at near, without prior eye muscle surgery.
- You have not had binocular vision therapy or treatment for this condition before.
- You do not have amblyopia (lazy eye), neurological issues, frequent headaches, or other eye conditions besides needing glasses.
- You are not planning to have eye muscle surgery in the next 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 different types of myopia control lenses to see which works best for slowing down nearsightedness in children who also have intermittent exotropia (a type of eye misalignment where one eye occasionally turns outward). It aims to find the most effective lens option for managing both conditions.
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 trial tests whether a video treatment can improve “lazy eye” (amblyopia) in children ages 3–7. It may help if your child’s vision difference is present despite glasses worn consistently, and you’re able to skip the usual patching during the study.
This trial tests a new treatment for children aged 8 to 12 with lazy eye (amblyopia) who have stopped standard treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can improve vision in the weaker eye.
This trial tests a visual therapy program designed to improve eye alignment in people with intermittent strabismus (when the eyes sometimes drift). It involves 12 in-office sessions and may help reduce the frequency of eye turning.
