• 1 other identifier: P.T.REC/012/004678
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 40
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the patient status through its follow up period and weather the eye alignment and eye control are as the same as the last physiotherapy treatment session or there is any deterioration of them.

Conditions

Strabismus; Intermittent

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Eye deviation by prism-cover test

  This test is used to quantify the movement of deviating eye

  3 months

• Measurement of eye control by Intermittent Exotropia Control Scale

  The level of control will be evaluated in each patient at both distance and near fixation using Intermittent Exotropia Control Scale. The scale ranges from 0 (phoria, best control) to 5 (constant exotropia, worst control).

  3 months
