Patient Characteristics and Surgical Approach Impacting Simultaneous to Alternate Prism Cover Test Disparity After Exotropia Surgery: A Quantitative Look at the Difference in Motor Outcomes

Conclusions:</span><p> Although a greater postoperative SPCT –APCT disparity was confirmed for patients with intermittent exotropia, it also independently associated with a larger preoperative deviation and surgery without medial rectus resection. Performing medial rectus resection, a surgeon's prerogative, provides more apparently consistent postoperative alignment characterized by less SPCT–APCT disparity.</p><p><b> [<i> J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus</i> . 2017;54(4):222 –230.]</b></p></div>
