Children with accommodative esotropia often achieve good vision and binocularity with treatment. However, hyperopia persists, and glasses wear is usually lifelong.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Strabismus

Background:

  • Refractive accommodative esotropia is a common form of childhood strabismus.
  • Hyperopia is a key etiological factor.
  • Understanding long-term outcomes is crucial for management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of children diagnosed with refractive accommodative esotropia.
  • To assess visual acuity, amblyopia, binocularity, and refractive changes.
  • To determine the need for surgical intervention and glasses wear.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 103 children with refractive accommodative esotropia.
  • Analysis of ocular alignment, amblyopia, and response to treatment.
  • Assessment of binocular single vision, surgical requirements, and refractive changes over time.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in amblyopia prevalence from 61.2% to 15.5%.
  • High rate of stereopsis (89.3%) achieved.
  • Refractive error remained stable, with no cases discontinuing glasses wear.

Conclusions:

  • Management strategies lead to excellent visual acuity and binocular single vision.
  • Amblyopia significantly improves with current treatments.
  • Hyperopia persists, necessitating lifelong glasses wear; emmetropization may be affected.
