Risk factors and outcomes of repeat squint surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have horizontal squint (eye turns inward or outward), not vertical (turns up or down).
- You have had at least one earlier squint surgery that didn't fully fix the problem.
- You can provide your previous surgery records.
- You can come for follow-up visits at the hospital.
- You or your guardian can sign a consent form.

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 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.
This study looks at the results of different treatments for strabismus (eye misalignment), including observation, non-surgical treatments, and surgery. It aims to understand what works best for different types of strabismus.
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 looks at how the thickness of a specific eye muscle affects the exact amount of surgery needed to correct crossed eyes. It aims to help doctors predict the right surgical dose for each person, which could lead to better outcomes and fewer repeat surgeries.
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.
