Glasses are commonly used to correct exotropia, as in accommodative esotropia. Prisms may also be used for correction; low-power prisms, such as vertical ones, can help correct or manage the condition, sometimes in combination with medication. It is important to avoid incorrect eye-use habits in daily life and to develop good lifestyle practices. Maintain proper eye hygiene, avoid frequently rubbing the eyes with hands, and ensure adequate rest.
