Intermittent Exotropia and Accommodative Esotropia: Distinct Disorders or Two Ends of a Spectrum?

In clinical diagnosis, we often imbue medical disorders with distinct personalities based on a constellation of findings with little understanding of their underlying causes.

Psychophysiology of Refractive Accommodative Esotropia

Purpose. To investigate the psychophysiologic aspects of refractive accommodative esotropia (RAE). Methods. I prospectively recruited patients aged 3-6 years with more than 3.0 diopters of hyperopia who presented at Kim's Eye Hospital from January 2011 to March 2013. I compared Korean Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL) which consists of internalizing factors (social withdrawal, somatic complaint...

Outcome in refractive accommodative esotropia.

AIM To examine outcome among children with refractive accommodative esotropia. METHODS Children with accommodative esotropia associated with hyperopia were included in the study. The features studied were ocular alignment, amblyopia, and the response to treatment, binocular single vision, requirement for surgery, and the change in refraction with age. RESULTS 103 children with refractive ac...
