ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a test called the Lees screen, which helps doctors see if there are any limitations in the eye movements of patients who have undergone surgery for strabismus. Strabismus is a condition where the eyes don’t align properly, which can lead to double vision or other visual problems. The trial is specifically looking at patients who have either esotropia (where one or both eyes turn inward) or exotropia (where one or both eyes turn outward). To participate, you need to be over 10 years old and have one of these conditions. However, if you’ve had previous eye surgery for strabismus or have certain other eye problems, you won’t be eligible for this study.

If you choose to participate in this trial, you will undergo the Lees screen test both before and after your strabismus surgery. This will help doctors understand how well the surgery is working in terms of eye movement and vision. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and it’s open to people of all genders. Your involvement can contribute to better understanding and treatment of strabismus, potentially helping others with similar conditions in the future.
