Different type of physiotherapy exercises was applied to experimental group for 12 weeks beside the medical treatment applied post-surgery while the control group received traditional treatment only.

The near and far angles of ocular deviation were measured before and after the treatment for evaluation of strabismus and measuring visual acuity for evaluation of amplyobia.
