• Song SJ

Abstract

Intermittent exotropia is the most common form of strabismus in Korea. Though monocular photophobia is considered as a typical finding in patients with intermittent exotropia, its incidence is still not precisely reported. We consecutively examined 110 patients with intermittent exotropia ages 3~28 years, and monocular photophobia was reported in 72 (65.5%)of them. In statistical study, the occurrence of photophobia has no significant relationship with sex, amount of deviation, distant stereoacuity or presence of suppression.
