The purpose of our study is to compare the surgical outcomes in patients with AACE managed with and without pre-operative prism adaptation test (PAT). <i>Methods</i>: We have done a prospective, interventional study for the duration of one year. Forty patients with AACE were randomly divided into two groups by computerized randomization - those undergoing surgery after pre- operative PAT and those undergoing surgery without it. In control group (Group C), patients underwent surgery based on the angle of deviation at distance measured by prism bar cover test (PBCT) and wearing full cycloplegic correction, while in test group (Group T), patients underwent surgery based on the preoperative prism-adapted angle at distance wearing prism power determined by PBCT and wearing full cycloplegic correction. The primary outcome was post-operative deviation and secondary outcome was stereopsis. Post-operatively, patients were followed up at week 1, week 4 and final follow-up was done at week 12. <i>Results</i>: The mean age of the 40 patients was 13.95 ± 5.36 years.

The change in visual acuity and spherical equivalent in each group was insignificant. <i>Discussion</i>: Surgical outcomes in patients of AACE are better when surgical planning is done after performing pre-operative PAT as opposed to when surgery is planned without PAT.
