CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In intermittent exotropia (IXT), deviation is better controlled at near fixation. Understanding of the mechanism responsible for this common observation may improve clinical management of IXT.
BACKGROUND: The physiological basis for the distance-near difference in control of deviation in IXT is vastly undetermined. A new parameter, 'control score disparity (CSD)', defined as the difference between distance and near control scores, is introduced. Association of CSD with positive fusional amplitude (PFA), accommodative convergence to accommodation (AC/A) ratio and distance angle of deviation was investigated to further understand the mechanisms.
METHOD: Patients aged between four and fifteen years with basic and divergence excess IXT were included. Subjects with previous strabismus surgery, amblyopia and inability to perform clinical tests were excluded. A standardized office-based scoring system was used to assess IXT controls. Subjects were sub-divided into group 1 (CSD <2) and group 2 (CSD ≥2). Pearson's univariate and regression analysis were used to determine relationships between CSD and other independent variables.
RESULTS: Mean age of the total 141 subjects (57.6% female) was 6.8 ± 2.5 years. Basic IXT was more common (60%) and 60% had CSD ≥2. The mean±SD distance angle of deviation, AC/A ratio, PFA and CSD were 22.1 ± 6.6 prism dioptres, 5.0 ± 1.0, 28.6 ± 6.3 prism dioptre and 2.0 ± 0.5, respectively. CSD was significantly correlated to PFA (r = 0.64, p < 0.001) and AC/A ratio (r = 0.27, p < 0.001) in overall samples and Group 2 subjects (r = 0.41, p = 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: PFA is a major factor associated with the distance/near difference of IXT control. Individuals with a higher PFA demonstrated greater CSD. While AC/A ratio was associated in better control at near in divergence excess IXT, magnitude of angle appears irrelevant.
