This 13 year-old myopic
girl (-2.00DS) developed a left exotropia 6 months ago. The exotropia was
absent when she was wearing glasses. The vision in both eyes was normal at
6/6. The exotropia was also absent when she looked at near object. She was
advised to wear her glasses constantly.
Right exotropia when fixating at a 6
metres objection (A and B). Eyes straight with myopic
correction (C). Exotropia disappeared
when the eyes looked at a near object. Right exotropia
worsened when the eyes looked at an
object further than 6 metres.
