Usefulness of Cycloplegic Refraction with Atropine in Patients with Partially Accommodative Esotropia

Purpose: To investigate the usefulness of atropine (Isopto 1% eye drops®; Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA) for cycloplegic refraction in patients with partially accommodative esotropia.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed medical records esotropia who underwent using both cyclopentolate and at Pusan National University Hospital between November 2017 December 2020. Patients replaced their glasses after were included group 1 all other 2. Clinical features angle ocular deviation compared two groups.Results: This study 23 a mean age 58.2 ± 22.3 months interval examinations 5.2 4.1 months. Spherical equivalent was larger to (+3.04 1.70 +2.31 1.75 diopters, respectively; p = 0.001). Groups 2 19 (83%) 4 (17%) patients, respectively. characteristics did not significantly differ groups. In 1, near fixation decreased from 28.7 14.0 20.7 11.6 prism diopters (p 0.002) correction refractive error.Conclusions: Cycloplegic may be useful detecting latent hyperopia managing strabismus esotropia.
