ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how using a mirror for exercise training can help children control their eye alignment after having surgery for a condition called intermittent exotropia, which is when one eye turns outward. The researchers want to find out if this mirror therapy can improve how well the eyes work together and enhance the quality of life for these children.

To participate in the study, children must be between 5 and 15 years old, have had strabismus surgery at least six months ago, and show signs of intermittent exotropia. They should also be in good health and able to understand the exercises they will do at home. Unfortunately, children with certain health issues, like serious eye problems or certain neurological disorders, won't be eligible. If chosen for the trial, participants will engage in exercises at home using a mirror to help improve their eye alignment over time.
