Muscle transplant vs Y-split for large exotropia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical methods to treat large-angle outward eye turning (exotropia) in patients over 6 years old. The surgery aims to correct eye alignment, and the trial helps find which technique works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Patient must be older than 6 years old.
- The outward eye turning (exotropia) should be between 50 and 70 prism diopters.
- Patient must have nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia).
- No prior surgery for eye misalignment (squint).
- No significant up-down eye misalignment.
- No eye turning that changes with gaze direction (incomitant), paralytic, or restrictive disorders.
- No neurological conditions affecting the eyes or brain.

This study looks at why some people need a second or later surgery for strabismus (eye misalignment) and how well that repeat surgery works. If you've had a previous squint operation but your eye still turns, this trial may help you get more treatment and contribute to knowledge about best practices.
This study tests eye drops to improve how a child’s eyes line up and how well they can use both eyes together. It may help children with certain types of outward eye drifting (intermittent exotropia/exophoria).
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.
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 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.
