What are the signs of intermittent exotropia?
People with intermittent exotropia may experience that outward drift only occasionally, such as when they are very tired, feeling sick, or after drinking alcohol, despite their efforts to refocus. Children may squint one eye in bright sunlight, or may rub one of their eyes. Their vision may become blurry or they may experience double vision when their eyes are misaligned. Some patients say that they can feel that an eye is misaligned, even though they do not see anything unusual. Others are unaware that an eye is turning unless it is mentioned by another person.
