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...

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/AIM Many children with accommodative esotropia must continue spectacle use throughout life. This study was undertaken to determine which factors are predictive of successfully weaning children with accommodative esotropia out of spectacles. METHODS A retrospective review of 10 children with accommodative esotropia, who were gradually weaned from their hyperopic correction, and thre...

BACKGROUND Refraction problems, motor disorders, sensorial disorders, physical and psychic traumas of eye may be responsible for development of strabismus. Anemia may cause sensory-neural disorders in children. We investigated the relationship between anemia and accommodative esotropia in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four patients with accommodative esotropia were evaluated. This gro...

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...

PURPOSE Identification of risk factors for accommodative esotropia may help to determine which children with hyperopia may benefit from early spectacle correction or preventive therapy. METHODS Participants in the family history study were 95 consecutive patients, aged 18 to 60 months, with accommodative esotropia. Participants in the binocular sensory function study were a subgroup of 41 chi...

the results of standard and augmented surgical treatment of partial accommodative esotropia have been compared in this study.in this sequential matched randomized double blind clinical trial, we studied 48 patients (96 eyes) with partial accommodative esotropia between the ages of 13 to to 144 months, referring to strabismus clinic of farabi eye hospital between 1999-2000. these patients were g...

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...

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 review what is known about the normal maturation of stereoacuity, the stereoacuity deficits associated with infantile and accommodative esotropia, the rationale for making improved stereoacuity a goal of treatment, and strategies for improving stereoacuity outcomes. Methods—Studies of stereoacuity maturation during normal development, studies of stereoacuity outcomes following treatm...
