Abstract

Intermittent exotropia (IXT), a common pediatric ocular disease, lacks defined treatment. Suggested treatments like part-time patching show results similar to observation, and over-minus therapy increases the risk of myopia progression.1,2,3 Often, physicians seek to improve control until children are old enough for viable options like surgery and/or exercises. This retrospective chart review assesses the effectiveness of 1% atropine applied to the dominant eye for 2 consecutive days per week for IXT in children younger than 8 years.
