Abstract:
Consecutive exotropia refers to a manifest exodeviation following surgery to correct esotropia. Surgery is common for early onset esotropia, particularly congenital/infantile esotropia. Congenital/infantile esotropia is usually accompanied by several ocular phenomena, including: latent nystagmus, dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) and overaction of the extraocular muscles, especially the inferior obliques. Additionally, since there is a disturbance in normal binocular vision, anomalous correspondence (AC) is often present. Despite this poor or limited binocularity, interventions to increase fusional ability are possible and should be considered.
