The development of myopia among children with intermittent exotropia.

...In this population-based study of children with intermittent exotropia, myopia was calculated to occur in more than 90% of patients by 20 years of age. Observation versus surgical correction did not alter the refractive outcome...

Comments: I wonder what would have happened if optometric vision therapy was used to treat these patients? Since myopia development appears to be linked to retinal defocus, blur, accommodation and the heterophoria....it would be a great project to see what would happen if OVT treated these areas and its affects on myopia development.
