Article Abstract
Cyclic strabismus is an uncommon disorder in which strabismus alternates with orthotropia in alternating 24-hour periods, although cycles of other lengths have also been described. Alternate-day exotropia is a rare form of cyclic strabismus which, to date, has been reported in few patients. We describe a case of alternate-day exotropia in a child who had previously undergone surgical correction of constant esotropia.
