Intermittent Exotropia: Characteristics and Overview

Abstract

Intermittent exotropia, an intermittent divergent misalignment, is a common form of childhood strabismus in many populations of the world. Assessing the severity of this condition is challenging due to the variable nature of this disease. Parameters used to measure severity of intermittent exotropia include control, angle, and stereoacuity. The assessment of symptoms and quality of life can also be helpful.
