Concomitant Exotropia

Concomitant exotropia is outward deviation of the eyes with full, unrestricted extraocular movements (non-paralytic), often intermittent in childhood (worse when tired/distant). Treatment: correct refractive error; treat amblyopia; orthoptic exercises for small intermittent; strabismus surgery for large/constant/decompensating deviations.

Common Symptoms

Outward eye deviation; full eye movements; intermittent (tired/distance) in childhood; possible amblyopia

Causes and Pathogenesis

Binocular control imbalance produces outward deviation with intact movements.

Treatment

Refractive correction; amblyopia treatment; orthoptics; surgery if large/constant/decompensating

Preventive Measures

Early detection; treat amblyopia.
