Stereopsis in patients of refractive accomodative Esotropia

Abstract

Accommodative esotropia is considered as an inward deviation of the eyes that has associations with accommodation reflex activation. It can be ruled out with decrease in inward deviation with use of full spectaclecycloplegic correction and the residual distance and near esodeviation are smaller then 8-10 diopters. Patient with refractive accommodativeesotropiausually have good binocular functions only if the eyes are aligned by correcting hyperopia.1−3 It is found that anisometropia, longer duration of esodeviation4, and residual esodeviation5−6 are associated with poor type of stereopsis. But we still do not know clearly about the factors associated with stereopsis in refractive accommodative esotropia. And the criteria to achieve best and normal binocular sensory functions have yet to establish. This study will investigate the associated factors of stereopsis in refractive accommodative esotropic patients.
