Supermaximal Monocular Recession-Resection Versus Large Bilateral Lateral Rectus Recession in large Angle Exotropia

Abstract

Background : Strabismus surgery aims to improve the ocular alignment of the visual axis and the cosmetic appearance of the studied cases with strabismus. The most common functional bene fi ts are the restoration of binocular vision, with the elimination of diplopia and compensatory head posture. In cases of large-angle exotropia, many surgical methods have been performed. Bilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection with lateral rectus recession are the most frequently used. Aim : To evaluate the outcome of supermaximal monocular recession e resection versus large bilateral lateral rectus recession in large-angle exotropia. Patients and methods : This was a prospective, interventional, nonrandomized study. This study was conducted
