Abstract

One hundred and ninty patients with exodeviation were treated with surgical procedures and were followed up 9.6 months in average. We analyzed the surgical results according to 6 factors, such as age at onset, age at surgery, type of exodeviation, amount of exoangle, the difference between near and far exoangle and the length of postoperative follow-up period. The surgical results were as follows; 59.5% satisfactory, 28.4% undercorrected and 12.1 % overcorrected. Two out of the 6 factors, the difference between near and far exoangle and the length of postoperative follow-up period had influence on the final surgical results (p<0.02). The difference between near and far exoangle within 10 delta had better surgical result than that of over 11 delta difference. There was a tendency to become exotropic with a long term follow-up period (2-67 months).
