Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the
outcomes of surgical treatments applied to patients diagnosed with consecutive
exotropia (CXT) at Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine,
Department of Ophthalmology.
Method: Patients who underwent surgical
intervention for CXT between December 2013 and December 2023 were included.
Inclusion criteria: having undergone surgery for CXT, complete basic
ophthalmological examination records, and a minimum follow-up of 12 months.
A total of 46 patients (30 males, 16
females) were evaluated. CXT surgery was performed on average 74.1±41.4 months
after the first surgery. The mean follow-up period was 18.2±11.3 months.
Best-corrected visual acuity, presence of amblyopia, time elapsed after the
first surgery, and surgical techniques used were analyzed. In postoperative
orthoptic evaluations, deviations of 10 prism diopters (PD) or less were
accepted as surgical success.
Results: The mean deviation angle before CXT
surgery was 33.3±9.6 PD (range: 20–50), which decreased to 6.2±7.5 PD (range:
0–25) at the final visit, and surgical success was achieved in most cases. A
total of 12 patients required additional surgery. Among all cases, 9 patients
(20%) were unsuccessful, and 3 of them underwent reoperation. Amblyopia was
present in 30 patients (65%), and 7 of the 9 unsuccessful cases had amblyopia.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, long
follow-up duration and the presence of amblyopia are considered risk factors
for the development of CXT. Long-term follow-up is recommended, considering the
possibility of reoperation.
