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 trial tests whether a structured vision therapy program can improve control of intermittent outward eye turning (intermittent exotropia) in children. You may be placed into one of the study groups (randomized), and the results will help doctors understand who benefits most and how well it works.
This trial tests visual training to improve how the eyes work together in children with intermittent exotropia (a condition where one eye drifts outward). It might help strengthen eye control and reduce the drifting.
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 special glasses designed to slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 6–12 who also have intermittent exotropia, a condition where one eye turns outward sometimes. The goal is to find which lens type works best at controlling myopia while managing the eye turn.
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 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.
