title: Single vision during ocular deviation in intermittent exotropia.
abstract: Intermittent exotropia is a common oculomotor anomaly where one eye intermittently deviates outwards. Patients with this type of strabismus are often not aware of the exodeviation and do not usually experience diplopia. In this review, we discuss what is known about the cortical mechanisms which achieve single vision during exodeviation in this condition, and highlight some outstanding questions.
