Role of botulinum toxin A in treatment of intractable diplopia

Conclusions Our results suggest that BTXA offers the advantage of a temporary decrease of the deviation without altering image quality that allows the visual system to recover fusion under real-life conditions. Permanent treatment with surgical correction of the deviation should be reserved for those who achieve fusion during the orthotropic period provided by BTXA.
