A Randomized Trial of Botulinum Toxin A vs Strabismus Surgery for Esotropia >10 to ≤30PD

Childhood esotropia (ET) is a common cause of visual disability, and its early management is critical for optimal visual and developmental outcomes. The proposed study addresses a need to evaluate botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) as a less invasive, cost-effective alternative to incisional strabismus surgery. If BTX-A is demonstrated to be non-inferior to incisional strabismus surgery in treating ET \>10 to ≤30PD, this could reduce surgical and anesthesia-related risks in infants, lower the economic burden on families and healthcare systems, and reduce disparities in access to care, particularly in underserved settings where surgical resources are limited.

Risk Factors And Surgical Outcomes Of Strabismus Reoperation

Horizontal strabismus, commonly known as inward or outward deviation of the eyes, is a frequent eye condition that may require surgical correction. Although the first surgery is often successful, some patients develop residual or recurrent eye misalignment and require a second operation (reoperation). This study aims to identify the clinical and surgical factors that may increase the risk of undercorrection, overcorrection, or recurrence after the first surgery. It also evaluates the outcomes and success rate of repeat surgery in patients with horizontal strabismus. Patients undergoing reoperation will receive a complete ophthalmological examination before surgery. The surgical plan will be individualized based on previous surgical history and current eye findings. All procedures will be performed under general anesthesia by the same surgeon. Participants will be followed for three months after surgery to assess eye alignment, movement, and possible complications. The results of this study may help improve surgical planning and predict which patients are at higher risk of requiring additional surgery in the future.

Vision Therapy Versus Prism Treatment in Small-angle Acute Acquired Concomitant Esotropia

This is a single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of vision therapy and prism wearing for the treatment of small-angle acute acquired concomitant esotropia.

Accommodation-Related Visual Training Combined with Transcranial Electrical Stimulation Versus Visual Training Alone for the Treatment of Accommodation Dysfunction

This is a single-center, randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of transcranial electrical stimulation combined with visual training with visual training alone for the treatment of accommodation disorder patients.

Botulinum Toxin Injection Versus Prism Treatment in Small-angle Acute Acquired Concomitant Esotropia

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial evaluating type A botulinum toxin injection and prism therapy for the treatment of small-angle acute acquired concomitant esotropia. Specific Aim 1 (Primary): To compare the reduction of deviation angle and improvement of diplopia symptoms between botulinum toxin injection and prism therapy for the treatment of small-angle acute acquired concomitant esotropia. Specific Aim 2 (Secondary): To compare the improvement of visual functions between botulinum toxin injection and prism therapy for the treatment of small-angle acute acquired concomitant esotropia.
