title: Prismotherapy in intermittent exotropia. A preliminary report.
abstract: Twenty-five patients with intermittent exotropia and suppression were prescribed prisms which neutralised their maximum deviation. Thirteen patients failed to wear their prisms properly and served as controls and none were cured. Eight of the 12 patients who wore their corrective prisms more than half the time they were awake were cured.
