Second eye muscle surgery for horizontal misalignment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at risks and results of a second (or more) surgery to fix horizontal eye misalignment (strabismus) that came back or wasn't fully fixed the first time. It may help if you or your child have already had eye muscle surgery and need another one.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your eyes turn inward (esotropia) or outward (exotropia), not up or down.
- You have already had at least one surgery to correct this, but it didn't fully work or the problem came back.
- Your medical records from past eye surgeries are available.
- You are willing and able to come to the hospital for follow-up visits after surgery.
- You or your guardian can sign a form agreeing to the procedure.

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 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 safe, purified protein (botulinum toxin) can help straighten eyes that are misaligned (esotropia or exotropia). It is for people with small-to-moderate eye turns, including those from nerve issues, thyroid disease, or after surgery.
This trial looks at how the width of a specific eye muscle affects the amount of surgery needed to correct inward-turning eyes (esotropia). It may help doctors better predict surgical results.
This trial compares a toxin injection (Botulinum Toxin A) to traditional eye muscle surgery for children with certain types of esotropia (crossed eyes). It aims to see which treatment works better for angles between 10 and 30 prism diopters.
