“…It has been suggested that these miotics stimulate peripheral accom modation for both distance and near, thus decreasing the need for accommodation of central origin and, in turn, decreasing the synkinetic convergence. Tour [42] stated that the increased depth of focus produced by the miosis may decrease the amount of accom modation required to maintain a sharp image. Porks [38] has shown that miotics may alter the AC/A ratio, so that, for a given amount of accommodation, less convergence is produced.…”

“…We should avoid the occurrence of iris cysts because of previous mentioned points. Various explanations about the mechanism of action of the anti cholinesterases in accommodative ET have been advanced [37][38][39][40][41][42]. It has been suggested that these miotics stimulate peripheral accom modation for both distance and near, thus decreasing the need for accommodation of central origin and, in turn, decreasing the synkinetic convergence.…”

“…The first measure to be taken to treat strabismus is to see if there is amblyopia, the priority treatment is to find a cure for amblyopia, and only after that does the treatment focus on ocular deviation.According to Costenbader, the treatment for esotropia, whether surgical or not, has, as its final objective, three results: (1) improvement of vision in each eye; (2) better binocular alignment with harmonious movements; and (3) safe binocular vision [13].…”

This study presents a technique that uses an interactive virtual environment for the rehabilitation treatment of patients with mechanical strabismus and/or amblyopia who have lost eye movement. The relevant part of this treatment is the act of forcing the two eyes to cooperate with each other by increasing the level of adaptation of the brain and allowing the weak eye to see again. Accordingly, the game enables both eyes to work together, providing the patient with better visual comfort and life quality. In addition, the virtual environment is attractive and has the ability to overcome specific challenges with real-time feedback, coinciding with ideal approaches for use in ocular rehabilitation. The entire game was developed with free software and the 3D environment, which is made from low-cost virtual reality glasses, as well as Google Cardboard which uses a smartphone for the display of the game. The method presented was tested in 41 male and female patients, aged 8 to 39 years, and resulted in the success of 40 patients. The method proved to be feasible and accessible as a tool for the treatment of amblyopia and strabismus. The project was registered in the Brazil platform and approved by the ethics committee of the State University of Piaui-UESPI, with the CAAE identification code: 37802114.8.0000.5209.
