Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with intermittent exotropia or constant exotropia
  2. Alternate prism cover test showed 20 prism diopters or more than 20 prism diopters exotropia
  3. Subjects who want to do strabismus surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject who had previous strabismus surgery or other ocular surgery history
  2. Thyroid eye disease or other connective tissue disease
  3. Significant bleeding or scleral perforation during operation
  4. Subjects who need to do medial rectus resection, not lateral rectus recession
  5. Subjects who had a plan to do other intra or extraocular surgery within 3 months

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Biodegradable collagen implant
Both eyes are needed to correct strabismus. One eye is randomly selected for the placement of biodegradable collagen implant.
Exotropia was treated with bilateral lateral rectus recession procedure. Lateral rectus recession was done. After lateral rectus recession, no degradable collagen implant was placed in the area, where lateral rectus was original inserted. One eye was randomly selected for the comparison.
Active Comparator: Without biodegradable collagen implant
Strabismus surgery is done without placing of biodegradable collagen implant in the other eye.
Exotropia was treated with bilateral lateral rectus recession procedure. Lateral rectus recession was done in the other eye without placing biodegradable collagen implantation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
