ABSTRACT
Objective: to determine the surgical alignment in adult patients aged over 18 years
and operated on from exotropia with deviation angle over 50 dioptries.
Methods: a retrospective and descriptive study was conducted from September
2009 through December 2011. It assessed the long-term motor alignment after
surgery (2 years) in a group of patients with large angle exotropia, who had been
seen at the Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Service of "Ramon Pando Ferrer"
Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology. Most of them had undergone single-staged threehorizontal
muscles squint surgery and just one female patient underwent fourhorizontal
muscle surgery.
Results: females prevailed in the group of 20 patients under study. The preoperative
deviation was similar at near and far distances; only one patient presented a
deviation bigger than 90 dioptries. It was observed that after two years, 14 (70 %) of
the evaluated patients were surgically aligned.
Conclusions: after this surgery, great improvements of the psychosocial and
functional subscales were noticed, which leads to remarkable rise of the quality of life
in these patients. Almost all of them reached the right ocular alignment in a singlestaged
surgery.
