Comparison of Refraction of Strabismic Eyes With That of Nonstrabismic Eyes From Birth to the Twenty-Fifth Year

Refractive Surgery for Accommodative Esotropia: Past, Present, and Future

“…The course of emmetropization in children with accommodative esotropia, however, is less well established. Most studies agree that only a modest decrease in hyperopia is expected after age 7 (4,5), that most patients with refractive accommodative esotropia will continue to have significant hyperopia into adulthood (6,7), and that successful weaning of spectacles is most likely if a child has baseline hyperopic refractive error of ≤3 D (8). However, a recent report describes 123 children with refractive accommodative esotropia and hyperopia up to 5 D who presumably became emmetropic and were able to discontinue spectacle use by a mean age of 13.5 years (9).…”
