Abstract
- The authors studied the effect of recession of single lateral rectus muscle. One lateral rectus muscle was recessed by 9.0-9.5mm on 21 patients with 20-25 delta exotropia from October 1991 to February 1994. The average corrected amounts of exodeviation were 13.36 by 9.0mm and 17.9 delta by 9.5mm. The Success rate was 70.0% in 9.0mm recession group with follow-up of 12.5 months in average, and 54.5% in 9.5mm recession group with follow-up of 17.0 months. The success rate was 62.0% in all patients. The success rate was gradually decreased in long term follow-up. The limitation of lateral gaze and lateral incomitancy were not observed. The recession of single lateral rectus muscle is a safe, predictable and simple procedure for the treatment of moderate angle exotropia less than 25 micro gram.
