          Abstract

          To review the multiple factors in intermittent exotropia (X(T)) responsible for the discrepancy between the distance and near deviations; to challenge the classification of X(T) into types according to the two standard clinical tests of occlusion of one eye and the use of +3.00 D spherical lenses at near by demonstrating the pitfalls of these two tests, as in X(T), masquerading as high AC/A ratio at times or as strong proximal fusional convergence at other times.
