Clinical Features of Refractive Accommodative Esotropia According to the Initial Angle of Esodeviation
So Hyun Bae, Dong Gyu Choi
Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate clinical features in patients with refractive accommodative esotropia according to the initial angle of esodeviation Methods: A total of 52 patients enrolled in retrospective study of refractive accommodative esotropia had been followed for at least 1 year. Several clinical characteristics were evaluated including age at onset, age when spectacles prescribed, cycloplegic refraction, angle of deviation, presence of amblyopia, change of refractive error during the follow-up period. Each finding were analyzed according to initial angle of deviation Results: At initial visit, mean angle of esodeviation was 25.42 PD (10∼60 PD) at distance and 26.23 PD (10∼60 PD) at near fixation. Of 52 patients, 13 (25%) patients had esodeviation of <20 PD, 30 (57.7%) had ≥20 PD and <40 PD and 9 (17.3%) had ≥40 PD. The mean age at onset was 30.26 months (birth∼7.5 years). Age at onset was 48.00 months in patients with esodeviation of <20 PD, 27.45 months in ≥20 PD and <40 PD, 15.89 months in ≥40 PD. The more the angle of deviation increased, the earlier the refractive accommodative esotropia developed. After the mean follow-up period of 41.4 months, reduction of hyperopia was 0.47 D per year. There was no significant difference of annual reduction of hyperopia according to angle of deviation. Conclusions: The more the angle of deviation increased, the earlier the refractive accommodative esotropia developed. It might be considered in diagnosis and treating refractive accommodative esotropia. (Korean J Optom Vis Sci 2008;7(1):12-17)
