A patient with hyperopia and accommodative esotropia was implanted bilaterally with hyperopic angle-supported refractive implants. Control of the esotropia was achieved as was some improvement in fusional ability. After three years, the endothelium remains healthy, the eye is quiet and control of the esotropia is maintained.

* OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of laser trabeculoplasty in the normal myopic eye on steroid intraocular pressure responsiveness in patients undergoing radial keratotomy.
* MATERIALS AND METHODS: Diode laser trabeculoplasty was performed on 94 patients with myopia undergoing radial keratotomy who were then started on dexamethasone drops. Intraocular pressures were measured by applanation tonometry compensated for corneal flattening.
* RESULTS: Twenty-eight percent of patients had an intraocular pressure increase of 6 mm Hg or more by the fourth week.
* CONCLUSION: Laser trabeculoplasty does not prevent steroid intraocular pressure increase in patients with myopia.
