| Purpose: Discuss the postoperative changes of eye location and basic effects with a group of age between 18 and 38. Methods: Retrospectively assess the postoperative effects of 18 concomitant exotropia patients taking the surgery during the period from March 1990 to March 2002. Clinically analyze the postoperative effects both on 6 weeks and 4 years later. Results: 5 of 6 intermittent exotropia patients have stable postoperative eye location and normal binocular function. 1 of 6 intermittent exotropia patients is undercorrection. 6 of 12 constant exotropia patients have rehabilitated relatively stable eye location, 4 of 12 constant exotropia patients are undercorrected. 2 of 12 constant exotropia patients with serious amblyopia have regression. Among all above, 5 patients have normal binocular function, 2 patients have basically normal binocular function. Rest of them has not binocular function. Conclusions: Surgery is the best treatment for concomitant exotropia. Rehabilitation of binocular single vision extremely affects the postoperative stability of eye location. Adult patients with abnormal correspondence of retina hardly rehabilitate and perfect their binocular single vision after the correction of eye location. Surgery can only solve the looking problem.
