purpose: to determine the surgical results of partially accommodative esotropia (paet). methods: thirty-eight patients with paet scheduled for surgery from 2002 to 2008 were enrolled in a descriptive, analytic retrospective study. patient characteristics including age, gender, refractive error, visual acuity, pre and post operative deviation, technique of surgery and follow up duration were rec...

INTRODUCTION Refractive surgery is considered a safe and effective method for correction of refractive errors in adults. OBJECTIVE To report an unusual case of a young child with partially accommodative esotropia presenting with deterioration of vision and worsening of esotropia following refractive surgery. CASE REPORT Unanticipated and progressive irregular corneal astigmatism along with ...

PURPOSE To elucidate the genetic or environmental background for clinical features in the three major types of comitant strabismus. METHODS Interview based on a questionnaire asking background factors such as family history of strabismus and abnormalities in pregnancy and delivery was conducted with 101 consecutive patients with infantile esotropia (5-180 months of age), 83 with accommodative...

Purpose: Cyclic esotropia is a rare disease with alternating cycles of recurrent that has been reported after strabismus surgery, head trauma, and psychological stress. We report patient who presented accommodative deteriorated to cyclic was managed successfully.Case Summary: A 2-year-old girl no previous ophthalmological or neurological illnesses esotropia. The alternate prism cover test showe...

PURPOSE To report refractive and surgical outcomes in a cohort of children with accommodative esotropia. DESIGN Retrospective population-based cohort. PARTICIPANTS All pediatric patients (<19 years) diagnosed with accommodative esotropia in Olmsted County, Minnesota, from January 1, 1975, to December 31, 1994. METHODS Medical records identified by the Rochester Epidemiology Project were r...

Partially accommodative esotropia is an acquired strabismus characterized by high hyperopia, a normal AC/A ratio, and a deviation that responds only partially to spectacle correction. Surgery is done for the non-accommodative portion of the deviation. Over-corrections are managed by reducing the hyperopic power of the spectacles. This retrospective study was done to determine the risk factors f...

The aetiology of accommodative esotropia is hypermetropia and a high ratio of accommodative convergence to accommodation (the AC/A ratio). In a study conducted by me many years ago, the patients with accommodative esotropia were divided into those with normal AC/A and high AC/A ratios. The average hypermetropia among the former was + 4-75 D sph. in the least of the two farsighted eyes as determ...

BACKGROUND The use of medial rectus pulley posterior fixation sutures to treat esotropia with convergence excess has limited support in the literature. We describe our results using this technique to treat patients with large near-distance disparities. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed records of patients with accommodative or partially accommodative esotropia and convergence excess 13(Δ) o...
