Long-term Follow-up of Refractive Accommodative Esotropia

Abstract

In cases of refractive accommodative esotropia, orthophoria is achieved through the use of hyperopia glasses, and the prognosis is considered good. However, esotropia accompanied by abnormal binocular function is often accompanied by DVD, IOOA, etc., and the use of glasses alone in such cases does not lead to a good prognosis. Furthermore, even in cases of fully refractive accommodative esotropia in which the use of glasses alone leads to orthophoria, normal binocular function, and a good prognosis, it is a major concern of the patient as to when the usage of the glasses may be safely discontinued.
