High-grade Stereo Acuity After Early Surgery for Congenital Esotropia

Management of infantile esotropia

“…This further supports the many reports in the literature finding early intervention has improved probability of developing stereopsis in infantile esotropia [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Amblyopia and binocular vision

“…Very early surgery, by 6 months of age, may preserve stereopsis in children with infantile esotropia. (Birch et al, 1998; Birch et al, 2000; Ing, 1991; Ing and Okino, 2002; Wright et al, 1994) Nonetheless, we found no significant differences in age at surgery among those who never had amblyopia, those who recovered, and those who developed persistent amblyopia (Figure 7). …”

Long-term follow-up of congenital esotropia in a population-based cohort

“…More recently, the authors of the Early versus Late Infantile Strabismus Surgery Study (ELISSS)17 reported that patients in an early treatment cohort (6–24 months of age) had 1.18 surgeries per patient compared with 0.99 surgeries per patient in those randomized to late treatment (32–60 months of age). Some authors advocate early surgery, often before 6 months of age 3,4,18. The findings from this report suggest that such patients are likely to require a second surgery compared with those who are older at the time of their first surgery, and parents of these children should be counseled about the risk of undergoing multiple surgeries.…”
