  1. Group A = patients who had undergone R&R as primary surgery
  2. Group B = patients who had undergone R&R as reoperation
  3. In the angle of deviation, minus means esodeviation
  4. W4D = Worth-4-dot
  5. Lateral incomitance = change of 5 PD or more in lateral gaze from primary position
  6. Vertical deviation = 5 PD or more hypertropia/hypotropia at primary position
  7. PD prism diopters
  8. *Mann-Whitney U test
  9. *Pearson chi-square test
