    Intermittent exotropia (IXT) is the most common strabismus in the Asian population, characterized by intermittent outward eye deviation.

  • 2

    Part-time occlusion therapy is an effective conservative management strategy for IXT, reducing deviation and improving control.

  • 3

    The study analyzed 277 patients under 10 years old with basic IXT who underwent patch therapy for at least 3 months.

  • 4

    Treatment success was defined as achieving a deviation of 10 prism diopters or less after patch therapy.

  • 5

    Statistical analyses included Cox regression and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis to evaluate treatment success and recurrence.
