Intermittent exotropia is intermittent exotropia. Intermittent exotropia does not necessarily require surgery. The
cause of intermittent exotropia is not clear, but may be caused by abduction and convergence dysfunction, which may be manifested as the separation of the visual axis of the eyes when looking at the distance. The treatment of intermittent exotropia can be divided into non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment. In the case of mild illness, surgery is generally not required, and medication is mainly used. If the eye position deviation is frequent, the deviation angle is large, or the effect of non-surgical treatment is not good, surgery should be performed.
