Abstract

Esotropia that is related to accommodative effort may be divided into two major categories: (1) refractive accommodative esotropia with a normal AC/A ratio and (2) nonrefractive accommodative esotropia with a high AC/A ratio. To evaluatedthe clinical characteristics and the results of therapy, we performed a clinical analysis of 54 cases of accommodative esotropia. Female were 28 cases and male 26. The age of onset were 0 to 6 years with most of the cases were 0 to 2 years. The refractive errors were ranged from less than +2.00D to over +6.00D. The amount of deviation before correction with glasses were 20-29delta in 16 cases, 30-39delta in 25, 40-49delta in 12 and one cases was over 50 delta. The refractive type was 46 cases and 8 cases were nonrefractive type. It is recommended that the patients with accommodative esotropia should be followed up for a long time even with their glasses, because of variable clinical course.
