What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • symmetrical and asymmetrical horizontal strabismus surgeryProcedure or surgery

    surgery was done on the medial rectus muscle on both eyes, lateral rectus muscle in both eyes or medial and lateral rectus muscle in one eye

Study groups in NCT04199286
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Asymmetrical surgeryActive comparatorThis asymmetrical horizontal muscle surgery done as recess-resect in one eye or 3 muscle surgery
Receives: Procedure: symmetrical and asymmetrical horizontal strabismus surgery
SymmetricalActive comparatorThis symmetrical horizontal muscle surgery includes bilateral medial rectus recession in esotropia cases or bilateral lateral rectus recession in exotropia
Receives: Procedure: symmetrical and asymmetrical horizontal strabismus surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. There was 95% success rate in asymmetrical group compared with 90% in symmetrical one

    This result was measured by simultaneous prism cover test and expressed in prism diopter

    Measured: one and half year
