Brief AbstractThis paper will focus on the use of optical treatment to improve control of intermittent exotropia and the effects this treatment method has on refractive error. Minus lens therapy is a non-invasive treatment for young children in which control of intermittent exotropia is improved by inducing accommodative convergence. Studies have found a significant decrease in the angle of distance exotropia with this treatment method. Improved stereoacuity and decrea...

Brief AbstractBackground and Purpose: Stereoacuity testing is a sensitive indicator of binocular function and is often abnormal in ocular conditions such as strabismus, amblyopia and suppression. It can be valuable in young children, as cooperation and reliability of monocular vision testing often declines during examination. Historic work identified a correlation between stereoacuity and visual acuity in a small cohort of healthy adults. This work is often referenced ...
