Abstract
- We presented the clinical evaluation to identify the amount of correction after surgery for 135 patients with exodeviation who had surgical correction at Kyungpook National University Hospital from January 1989 to December 1993. The following results were obtained. Of 135 patients, female occupies 51.1%, male occupies 48.9% of the patients and in 53% of the patients, exodeviation was noticed when the patients were under the age of 3 years. Visual acuity of 0.7 or better were found in 76.7%. Intermittent exodeviation was found in 97% and constant exodeviation was found in 3% of the patients. Preoperative angles between 21 delta and 40 delta were in 82.3%. The average amount of prism diopters corrected after operation was 26.4 delta, 34.6 delta, 43.2 delta and 51.1 delta in 6~7mm, 7~8mm, 8~9mm and 9~10mm recession group. Cosmetically satisfactory results(+/-10 delta esoor exodeviation) were obtained in 76.5% of the patients.
