Monofixational intermittent exotropia
J. D. Baker and G. T. Davies
The surgical correction of intermittent exotropia occasionally results in a
monofixational sensory pattern. Stereopsis as a measure of bifixation was
studied preoperatively and postoperatively in 39 cases of intermittent
exotropia. Of 26 patients with bifixation, 25 remained so after surgery. Of
13 patients with monofixation, 11 remained unchanged by surgery, one
improved, and one lost all binocularity. The presence of preoperative
monofixational intermittent exotropia, to explain a monofixation result
from intermittent exotropia surgery, is proposed.
