Target angles defined depending on patient’s strabismus type^a

	Esodeviations		Exodeviations
	Fusion potential	No fusion potential	Fusion potential	No fusion potential
Distanceb	0 PD to 6 PD XT	2 PD to 8 PD ET	2 PD to 8 PD ET	4 PD to 14 PD ET
Nearc	0 PD to12 PD XT	4 PD XT to 8 PD ET	10 PD XT to 8 PD ET	4 PD XT to 14 PD ET

ET, esotropia; PD, prism diopters; XT, exotropia.

^aRare exceptions to target angles were made for patients with internuclear ophthalmoplegia, convergence insufficiency, and third nerve palsies, where the target angle was a greater ET (n = 7), when a patient had an atypical ET or XT drift after previous surgery (n = 4), and when appearance of the strabismus overrode measurements in nonfusing patients (n = 2).

^bDistance target ranges were observed when Krimsky measurements were used to optimize appearance for patients with abnormal angle kappa or when visual acuity precluded prism testing.,.

^cThe distance target range was prioritized; the near target range became important in cases where the near XT exceeded the target range.
