Journal Article
Correlation between bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession and myopic progression in children with intermittent exotropia
2023
Overview
Although several studies have reported about the relationship between the surgical correction of intermittent exotropia and myopic progression, it remains unclear, unlike the relationship between esotropia and hyperopia. Thus, this retrospective case control study evaluated the impact of bilateral lateral rectus recession in intermittent exotropia on myopic progression. This study included 388 patients with intermittent exotropia. The refractive errors and degree of exodeviation at each follow up period were analyzed. The rate of myopic progression was −0.46 ± 0.62 diopter (D)/year in patients who underwent surgery and −0.58 ± 0.78 D/year in patients who did not, with no significant difference between them (
p
= 0.254). Patients who had recurrences of more than 10 prism diopters were compared with patients who did not have. The rate of myopic progression was −0.57 ± 0.72 D/year in the recurrent group and −0.44 ± 0.61 D/year in the non-recurrent group, with no significant difference between them (
p
= 0.237). Patients with fast myopic progression had more recurrence than patients with slow progression (
p
= 0.042). Moreover, recurrence had a positive correlation with fast myopic progression (OR = 2.537,
p
= 0.021). Conclusively, the surgical correction of intermittent exotropia did not influence myopic progression.
