Abstract

The paper represents the analysis of 27 patients with a form of exodeviation examined în the Department of Ophthalmology Sibiu (jan. 1999-jan. 2003).

Method: The evaluated parameters were: debut age, sensorial status, refraction, type of exodeviation related with refractive errors and treatment.

Results: The predominant refractive error was hyperopia (low degree)-40.74%, exophoria was the most frequent type of exodeviation (44.44%). Amblyopia was present în 11.2% of cases, 25.9% of patients had no stereopsis.

Conclusions: In the studied group 81.48% of cases had refractive errors. Exophoria and intermittent exotropia were related with emetropia or minor refractive errors. Mixed astigmatism with amblyopia and anizometropia presented constant exodeviation.
