Main finding: In children aged 3-10 years old with Intermittent Exotropia and observed without treatmet, stereoacuity deterioration or progression to constant exotropia over 3 years was uncommon; remained stable or improved slightly.
Purpose: To describe the course of intermittent exotropia in children without treatment
Type: Observational arm of Randomized controlled trial
Condition: Intermittent Exotropia
Participants: Children aged 3-10 years with previously untreated intermittent XT undergoing observation
n=183 patients
Among the 132 participants who completed the 3-year visit without treatment, less than 1% met motor or stereoacuity deterioration criteria.
Improvement occurred in distance and near stereoacuity, distance exotropia control, and distance exodeviation magnitude.
