[A method of feating intermittent divergence strabismus (author's transl)].

Patching appears to have sensory and motor effects on intermittent exotropia. The sensory effects we have observed are reduction in the size of the scotoma as measured on haploscopic devices and improvement in fusional amplitudes. The motor effects has been increased control of the deviation. A series of patients was studied to document these effects, and their significance in management was discussed.
