Prior data indicate that the success rate among adults is 0.75. If the success rate for the young age group is 0.5, we will need to study 58 adult subjects and 58 young subjects to be able to reject the null hypothesis that the success rates for young and adult subjects are equal with probability (power) 0.8. The Type I error probability associated with this test of this null hypothesis is 0.05. We will use an uncorrected chi-squared statistic to evaluate this null hypothesis. Assuming a dropout rate of 5 %, a total of 62 patients will be recruited in each group.\n\nInclusion criteria:\n\nAll patients with intermittent exotropia in whom surgery is indicated\n\nExclusion criteria:\n\nPatients with prior eye muscle surgery, restrictive or paralytic strabismus will be excluded. In addition, patients with craniofacial anomalies or neurological problems will be excluded from the study.\n\nMethodology (in details):\n\nA detailed history will be obtained including presence of asthenopia, monocular closure, disfigurement or diplopia. The previous use of glasses for optical correction, use of minus lenses, or prior part time occlusion will be documented.\n\nA detailed ophthalmological examination; including corrected and uncorrected visual acuity whenever feasible, cycloplegic refraction, anterior segment examination and dilated fundus examination for any abnormalities.\n\nMotor Evaluation:\n\nDuctions and versions will be done to assess the ocular motility in all diagnositic positions of gaze.\n\nThe angle of misalignment will be measured by the prism and alternate cover tests for both distance and near. The angle will be measured without and with glasses. The angles of misalignment will also be measured in side gazes and in straight up and down gaze whenever possible. In patients with near distance disparity, the angle of deviation will be measured again after patching one eye for 30 minutes, as well as after putting +3 D lenses in front of each eye.\n\nThe control of exotropia will be assessed using both the newcastle control score and the new intermittent exotropia control scale designed by Mohney and Holmes.\n\nSensory Evaluation:\n\nTNO stereo test, titmus fly test and worth 4 dot test for far will be done whenever possible.\n\nSurgery:\n\nAll patients will undergo bilateral lateral rectus recession according to standard tables. In the younger age group, the amount of lateral rectus recession will be reduced by 0.5 mm. in those with inferior oblique overaction, inferior oblique recession will be performed.\n\nFollow up and Evaluation:\n\nPostoperatively, patients will be examined in the same preoperative manner after one week then after 6 weeks, 3 month and 6 months to assess the horizontal alignment and do sensory evaluation whenever possible.\n\nStatistical analysis:\n\nData management and analysis will be performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version (21). Median and range for non-parametric measures and ordinal (scores) data. Numerical data will be presented as means ± standard deviations (SD). Categorical data will be presented as number and percentages %. Pairwise comparisons between the two groups for normally distributed variables will be done using the Student's t-test; the Mann-Whitney test, a nonparametric test equivalent to the t-test, will be used in non-normally distributed variables. The pre and postoperative data will be compared using repeated measures ANOVA, with Friedman's test as its non-parametric equivalent. The chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test will be used to compare between the groups with respect to categorical data. All p-values will be two-sided.
