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. Presenc...

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...

AIM To describe preliminary findings of how the profile of the use of blur, disparity, and proximal cues varies between non-strabismic groups and those with different types of esotropia. DESIGN This was a case control study. METHODOLOGY A remote haploscopic photorefractor measured simultaneous convergence and accommodation to a range of targets containing all combinations of binocular dispa...

PURPOSE To report the clinical features of a rare case of hypotropic dissociated vertical deviation (DVD). CASE REPORT A 25-year-old female was referred with unilateral esotropia, hypotropia and slow variable downward drift in her left eye. She had history of esotropia since she had been 3-4 months of age. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in her right eye and 20/40 in the left one when ...

PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficacy of laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in facilitating strabismus management in noncompliant children with fully accommodative esotropia. SETTING Ebsar Eye Center, Benha University (Benha, Egypt). METHODS The study comprised 20 eyes of ten consecutive patients with accommodative esotropia. All patients were noncompliant with glasses and ha...

PURPOSE To review what is known about the normal maturational sequence for fusion and stereopsis and the binocular sensory deficits associated with accommodative esotropia (ET) and to explore the clues that accommodative ET provides about critical periods for binocular sensory function. METHODS Studies of binocular sensory function during infancy and early childhood are presented. RESULTS M...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAE) whose refractive errors were gradually reduced to below +2.00 diopters (D) during follow-up but use of spectacles was still required for maintenance of good ocular alignment. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of patie...
