Comment on “Early Results of Slanted Recession of the Lateral Rectus Muscle for Intermittent Exotropia with Convergence Insufficiency”

Abstract EN

We congratulate Chun and Kang for their successful results which they obtained in children with exotropia with convergence weakness [1].

This issue is one of the controversial topics, in which there are still diverse opinions in its treatment, in which a full consensus cannot be built in surgical treatment, and in which various success rates within the range of 18–67% are reported [2–4].

In slanted recession technique, more reformation at the near than the far is aimed by suturing lower tendons of lateral rectus more backwards than upper tendons [5].
