  5. Presentation Learning Objectives • To understand the current evidence-base for the use of overminus spectacles as a treatment for intermittent exotropia • To identify factors that might predispose to successful treatment of intermittent exotropia with overminus spectacles

  6. Question 1 Control of intermittent exotropia should be assessed with: • Standardized timing of the tropic phase • Prism and alternate cover test • Near stereoacuity • Standardized assessment on the synoptophore

  7. Question 2 The current evidence suggests • Overminus may be more effective when control is moderate • Overminus may be more effective when control is poor • There is no relationship between the effectiveness of overminus and level of control • Overminus is ineffective as a treatment for intermittent exotropia

  8. Index Case 5 year-old boy Hx - “left eye wanders particularly when tired or at end of day” VA 20/20 20/20 Full ductions D 25 X(T) comitant N 25 X(T) SLE Fundus Normal Cret +0.50 R +0.50 L

  9. Diagnosis – Intermittent Exotropia One of the most common strabismus disorders of childhood Other Accommodative ET (28%) Sensory XT (3%) XT assoc with CNS (4%) Acquired Non-accomm ET (10%) CI XT (5%) Up to 1% of children under 11y in Olmsted CO MN ET assoc with CNS (7%) Intermittent Exotropia (17%) Sensory ET (4%) Paralytic ET (4%) Congen ET (5%)

  10. IXT treatment options • Observe • Alternate patching e.g. 3hrs/day (? Anti-suppression therapy) • Convergence exercises • Surgery

  11. Another non-surgical treatment option • Overminus spectacles e.g. adding -2.50 sphere to each spectacle lens • E.g. Cret -1.00 sph R -1.00 sph L • Overminus Rx -3.50 sph R -3.50 sph L • E.g. Cret +1.00 sph R +1.00 sph L • Overminus Rx -1.50 sph R -1.50 sph L

  12. Theoretical underpinnings • Overminus stimulates accommodation which then stimulates convergence (therefore high AC/A ratio may be beneficial) • Fusional vergence stimulates accommodation (we have a CA/A ratio) accommodation blurs distance VA requiring overminusfor clarity

  13. Previous studies of “Overminus” • Small case series • Differing amounts of overminus (-0.50 to -5.00) • Differing methods of prescription (fixed versus titrated to control of IXT) • No control groups • No standardized outcome assessment • No masking of outcome assessment

  14. Intermittent Exotropia Study 3(IXT3) A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial of Overminus Spectacle Therapy for Intermittent Exotropia

  15. Study Objectives To assess initial short-term response to overminus treatment

  16. What is the question ? Is overminus treatment more effective than non-overminus treatment in the management of childhood intermittent exotropia?

  17. Candidate 1o Outcome measures • Angle of deviation? • No – 2 cases can have same angle but very different • Stereoacuity? • No – stereoacuity often preserved • Control? • Yes - that is what others see

  18. “Control” ? • Proportion of the time the eyes are manifestly exotropic • Ease of recovery when dissociated

  19. “Control” ? • Proportion of the time the eyes are manifestly exotropic • Ease of recovery when dissociated

  20. Mohney/Holmes office control score Phoric Tropic Mohney BG, Holmes JM. An office-based scale for assessing control in intermittent exotropia. Strabismus 2006;14:147-50.

  21. 30 second observation Constant exotropia – Grade 5 Exotropia > 50% of 30 seconds before dissociation – Grade 4 Exotropia < 50% of 30 seconds before dissociation – Grade 3 Score distance and near fixation separately

  22. Three 10-second periods of dissociation first R, then L, then the eye that deviated longest – estimate how many seconds it takes to recover Grade by the worst of 3 trials (R, L, then worst) >5 seconds – grade 2 1-5 seconds - grade 1 <1 second – grade 0 (pure phoria)

  23. Patient 1 Patient 10 5 Patient 13 Tropic 4 3 2 Phoric 1 0 8:00 -10:30 10:31-13:00 13:01-15:30 15:31-18:00 But……control can be variable Distance control over the course of day 46% showed variable control ( >1 level) during a single day Controlscore Assessment time

  24. Multiple assessments of control Early am Late pm Late am Early pm Single Double Triple Mean of one or two or three measures (single, double, triple) Compared to 1. Day mean (of 12 measures) 2. Subsequent day mean (of 12 measures) Triple measures (mean of 3) were most representative of the patient

  25. Current recommendations for assessing control – 3 assessments 30 sec observation 5 - constant Visit 4 ->50% 3 - <50% Mean of three assessments For Distance For Near 3 10-sec covers 2 - >5 secs 1 - 1-5 secs 0 - phoria

  26. Back to the Pilot RCT

  27. Refining the question in terms of the chosen primary outcome measure

  28. Study Objectives To assess initial short-term response to overminus treatment Compare: • Study group mean of distance IXT control scores (primary outcome)* • Proportion of patients with improvement >=1 point in distance IXT control score* • Adverse symptoms, near VA, & compliance *The distance IXT control score is the mean of 3 controltestsat the visit.

  29. Major Eligibility Criteria • Age: 3 to <7 years • IXT • Distance control score ≥ 2 (mean of 3) • Near control score ≠ 5 (mean of 3) • ≥ 15∆ exoat distance by PACT • Near deviation does not exceed distance deviation by >10 ∆ on PACT

  30. Major Eligibility Criteria (cont.) • No previous strabismus surgery • No previous substantial overminus (>=1.00D) • No non-surgical treatment for IXT within past 6 months (other than refractive correction) • SE in both eyes between +1.00 and -6.00 inclusive • No ADHD drugs or other drugs known to affect accommodation • Wearing appropriate correction for ≥1wk if refractive error meets certain criteria

  31. Study Flow Chart Enrollment Randomization Observation GROUP (non-overminus spectacles or no spectacles) Overminus GROUP Spectacles with full CR plus 2.50D overminus 2-WEEK PHONE CALL (FROM SITE) 8-WEEK Primary outcome exam (masked exam)

  32. Study Treatment & Sample Size 58 patients enrolled at 21 sites We planned 50 patients, knowing that we would have 88% power to detect a 0.75 pt difference with a SD of 0.926 (1-sided test with alpha of 0.05) 58 patients enrolled and randomized (1:1) to: • Observation (N=31) • Non-overminus spectacles or no spectacles (if correction not needed) • Overminus (N=27) • Spectacles with 2.50D overminus

  33. Post-randomization Spectacle Wear in Observation Group

  34. Baseline: XT Control at Distance N/A N/A Distance Exotropia Control Score (mean of 3 testings)

  35. Baseline: XT Control at Near Near Exotropia Control Score (mean of 3 testings)

  36. Baseline: PACT at Distance N/A Magnitude of Exodeviation by PACT at Distance (∆) Note: PACT at distance had to be at least 15 PD for eligibility.

  37. Baseline: PACT at Near Magnitude of Exodeviation by PACT at Near (∆)

  38. Baseline Stereoacuity at Near Baseline Near Stereoacuity (arcsec)

  41. Treatment Compliance Weeks of Overminus Spectacle Wear Possible

  42. Weeks Overminus Patients Had Overminus Spectacles Mean = 7 weeks Range = 4 -11 weeks Weeks Between Spectacle Receipt and 8-Week Visit

  43. Compliance with Overminus* *Based on parental report and discussion with investigator.

  44. Primary Outcome

  45. 8-week Mean Distance Control Difference = -0.75 (-1.42 to -0.07) P = 0.03 for one-sided test Observation (N=31) Overminus (N=27)

  46. 8-week: Mean Distance Control Difference = -0.75 (-1.42 to -0.07) P = 0.03 for one-sided test 8-wk Distance Control Score (mean of 3 testings)

  47. 8-week Change in Distance Control Worse Mean change = -0.4 Mean change = -1.2 N/A N/A N/A N/A Better Percentage of Patients

  48. 8-week Distance Control Treatment Response (≥ 1 point improvement) Difference = 20% (-6% to 45%) P = 0.07 for one-sided test

  49. Improvement in controlby level of baseline control Does improvement depend on baseline control?
