[Impact of a surgical treatment stage on the accommodability and binocular functions in patients with concomitant...

The surgical stage of treatment for concomitant strabismus was studied for its impact on accommodability and inocular functions. Thirty-four patients were examined. The author used the laser stroboscopic technique, estimated the accommodation convergence/accommodation (AC/A) ratio, and evaluated binocular functions at different working distances (in the color, polaroid, and scanning separation of the fields of vision) and on a synoptophore. Surgical treatment was shown to reduce the AC/A ratio, to normalize accommodation tone, and to improve or to restore binocular functions, which suggest their close relationship.
