Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  plication sugery for patients with primary exotropia  patients will be undergoing medial resection procedures based on the randomization.plication of medial rectus muscle,amount of plication will be done based on calculation from prism bar cover test. the conjunctival-scleral thickness will be compared on anterior segment ocular coherence tomography pre-operatively,1st,3rd and 4th month after surgery.  
Comparator Agent  resection surgery for patients with primary exotropia  patients will be undergoing medial rectus resection procedures based on the ramdomization.resection of medial rectus muscle,amount of resection will be done based on calculation from prism bar cover test. the conjuctival scleral thickness in both the groups will be compared on anterior segment ocular coherence tomography pre operatively, at 1st month,3rd month and 4th month after surgery.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This prospective,randomized,comparative study compares the effect of two surgical procedures i.e. resection and plication in patients with primary exotropia.It would be conducted in guru nanak eye centre,comprising 2 groups of 25 patients per group.The primary outcome is to compare conjunctival-scleral thickness after medical rectus resection vs plication on anterior segment OCT at 1st,3rd and 4th months after surgery. The secondary objective is to compare tear-meniscus height ,non invasive tear break up time,difference in meibography scores and difference in ocular surface disease index(OSDI) between two groups at 1st,3rd and 4th months post surgery.
