In this chapter, we intend to present the disease entity, which will include definition, types of exodeviation, symptoms, etiology, risk factors and nonsurgical treatment, as well as surgical management. The types of exodeviations that will be included are pseudoexotropia, exophoria, intermittent exotropia, sensory exotropia, and consecutive exotropia. We will also write about diagnosis of the disease itself, which includes the basics of a strabological examination. There will be special attention paid to the intermittent exotropia considering that intermittent exotropia is the most common type of exodeviations, with a special focus on its treatment. Postoperative treatment options will also be topic to discuss.
