Is hypermetropia regressing in accommodative esotropia?

ABSTRACT Purposes: To evaluate the relationship of changes in hypermetropia and ocular alignment patients with accommodative esotropia. Methods: The medical records consecutive diagnosed refractive esotropia (esotropia eliminated or decreased to within 10 D full hyperopic correction) were retrospectively reviewed. Cycloplegic refractions culled from converted into spherical equivalents. Presence amblyopia, error at admission after follow-up period evaluated. Results: Seventy (mean age: 6.01 ± 5.41 years; female: 60.6%; mean follow-up: 5.8 3 years) had corrected 40 20 prismatic diopters admission. average decrease per year near distance deviations glasses was 1.71 3.96 diopters/year 1.09 3.25 diopters/year, respectively. total myopic shift right left eyes 1.08 1.35 1.20 1.40 D, Myopic shift/year 0.22 D/year 0.26 D/year, correlation between rate change deviation weak. for not high (r=0.18; p=0.15). Conclusion: amount gradually during follow-up. On other hand, it may be incorrect assure that will parallel error.
