A multicenter randomized clinical trial involving 177 pediatric patients has demonstrated that virtual reality-based vision therapy can significantly improve distance exotropia control in children with intermittent exotropia. Conducted between July 2023 and November 2024 in China, the study revealed that those participating in a 12-week home-based therapy program exhibited enhancements in distance control scores compared to those under observation alone. Notably, adherence to the program correlated with greater improvements, particularly in patients with higher initial distance control scores. The findings suggest a promising non-invasive treatment method for this condition.
