[Microtropia - heterophoria]

Klinische Monatsblatter Fur Augenheilkunde

|April 1, 1980

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Microtropia combined with esophoria can be treated with prisms and surgery. In some cases, microtropia may resolve after correcting the esophoria, suggesting it can be secondary to the phoria.

Context:

Microtropia often coexists with larger angle esophoria.
Understanding the relationship between these conditions is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose:

To investigate the outcomes of treating the esophoria component in patients with microtropia and esophoria.
To determine if microtropia can be secondary to esophoria.

Summary:

Prism treatment and surgery were used to eliminate the esophoria component in 31 patients with microtropia and esophoria.
A stable microtropia persisted in 19 patients, while in 12 patients, the microtropia resolved, indicating it may be secondary to the esophoria.
Treatment of the esophoria component is indicated, regardless of whether the microtropia is stable or resolves.
