OK. I think I have Intermittent Exotropia.?

Question

Is there like a special eye exercise you can do to try and fix it, you know, without surgery???

Answer 1

You can check out this site... It is definitely going to depend on which kind you have and how severe it is.

If you can get through the medical terminology, this excerpt is interesting:
I have found that treatment which is not consistent with the physiological findings has not been very successful. For example, treatment to build fusional amplitudes in the DE who has normal fusional amplitudes does not result in a lasting cure. Treatment to eliminate the deviation by surgery does not result in lasting cure. Surgical treatment is the most successful when treatment is directed at creating a significant overcorrection so that the drive to re-develop original divergence excess deviation becomes mechanically impossible. Unfortunately the surgeon can not create a predictable over correction.

Treatment consistent with my theory employs behavior modification whereby the visual system is initially stimulated with targets which elicit binocular alignment (stereoscopic targets). Figure 2 depicts in flow chart form both diagnosis and treatment of the DE. After therapy using stereoscopic targets, the cues which stimulate binocular alignment (disparity and similarity) are sequentially faded out while providing reinforcement. The end result is alignment in the absence of any fusion stimulus. Brock was the first to advocate the use of large, peripheral stereoscopic stimuli to initiate alignment. He suggested that therapy begin at near viewing and then slowly move to distance where the stimuli become smaller, the retinal disparity induced by the stimuli decreases, and the patient is more likely to be exotropic. Before one moves from distance to near, the targets should be made progressively smaller. Cooper et al has experimentally shown, that as the stimulus becomes smaller, fusion amplitudes and the ability to maintain binocularity decreases. When the patient demonstrates a consistent binocular alignment response, the disparity cues are decreased, i.e. flat fusion targets are used. The last step of treatment uses simultaneous perception targets which are devoid of vergence cues. They are initially presented in free space at 40 cm and then moved to distance viewing. There is always reinforcement for alignment. Some of the techniques I employ use a vertical prism for dissociation to obtain ocular alignment. Some other examples of simultaneous perception targets include: Cheiroscopic and Amblyopia series with the Liquid Crystal Version of the Computer OrthopterÔ ; mirror transfer techniques; and right view of the Clown VectogramÔ with the left view of the SpirangleÔ . The last phase of treatment reinforces alignment in instrument in the absence of any cues for fusion. For some unknown reason, binocular alignment without suppression is more difficult when targets are presented in a stereoscope.

Actually, I'm going to just paste in my search page url and you can sift through them- you'll know best what's appropriate in your situation.
