| Abstract | Background To investigate the surgical outcomes of basic-type exotropia in patients with hyperopia. Methods The medical records of patients who underwent surgery for basic-type exotropia and had been followed up for ≥ 2 years were retrospectively recruited. Patients with myopia and spherical equivalent (SE) < -1.0 diopters (D) were excluded. The patients were classified according to the SE: group H had a SE ≥ + 1.0 D, and group E had -1.0 ≤ SE < + 1.0 D. The surgical success rate and sensory outcome were compared. Surgical success was defined as exodeviation ≤ 10 prism diopters (PD) and esodeviation ≤ 5 PD at 6 m fixation. Stereoacuity was measured using the Titmus Preschool Stereoacuity Test. Results Seventy-five patients (24 males and 51 females, mean age 5.1 ± 2.6 years, range 2.7–14.8) were included. The SE ranged from -0.9 to 4.4 and 21 patients were classified into group H and 54 into group E. The success rates were higher in group H than in group E during the entire follow-up period, but the differences were significant only at the final examination. At the final follow-up, 11 of the 21 (52.4%) patients in group H and 15 of the 54 (27.7%) in group E maintained successful alignment, whereas 10 (47.6%) and 38 (70.4%) patients exhibited recurrence. Overcorrection was exhibited in one (1.9%) patient in group E. Sensory results were comparable between the groups. The follow-up period did not differ between the two groups. The survival analysis showed no difference in the surgical results between the two groups. Conclusions Surgery for basic-type intermittent exotropia resulted in superior outcomes in patients with hyperopia compared to those with emmetropia. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
