Among them, 18 cases of exotropia, 15 cases of eostropia and 1 case of hypertropia were observed. 3. Average age at the time of operation was 5.9 years in esotropia and 7.1 years in exotropia. 4. Satisfactory result within 10 prism diopters of correction was obtained in 12 esotropias and 13 exotropias. 5. Improved fusional status was obtained in 9 esotropias and 14 exotropias.
