What is consecutive esotropia?
What is consecutive esotropia?
Consecutive esotropia was defined as an esotropia of at least 10 prism diopters (PD) at distance or near at least once in 2 weeks after surgery. Presumed risk factors for consecutive esotropia were analyzed.
What is accommodative esotropia?
Accommodative esotropia, or refractive esotropia, is one of the most common forms of esotropia (crossed eye), which is a type of strabismus, or eye misalignment. It refers to eye crossing that is caused by the focusing efforts of the eyes as they try to see clearly.
What is basic Exotropia?
Exotropia is a type of eye misalignment, where one eye deviates outward. The deviation may be constant or intermittent, and the deviating eye may always be one eye or may alternate between the two eyes.
How do I get rid of intermittent exotropia?
Treatment of intermittent exotropia
- Eye exercises – Used to help strengthen control of the eyes.
- Eyeglasses – Used to stimulate convergence (movement of the eyes toward the nose) by prescribing glasses that are too strong (called “over minus” lenses)
How do you fix intermittent exotropia?
How is exotropia treated? Non-surgical treatment may include glasses and in some instances, patching therapy may be recommended. If the eyes are misaligned more often than they are straight, surgery on the eye muscles may be recommended in order to realign the eyes.
What is secondary esotropia?
Secondary esotropia: constant deviation secondary to visual loss or impairment occurring usually before 2 years of age.
What is Cyclic esotropia?
Cyclic esotropia is a rare condition in which esotropia alternates with binocular single vision (BSV). A five years old female child presented with the complain of acute onset infrequent squinting of left eye (L/E) for 3 years. Squinting of L/E starts in morning and persists throughout the day.
How is accommodative esotropia diagnosis?
Refractive accommodative esotropia consists of under corrected hyperopia with insufficient fusional divergence. To confirm the diagnosis, a cycloplegic refraction must be done and the patient placed in his or her full hyperopic correction.
Is accommodative esotropia curable?
The only cure is for your child to out grow the problem (see question 3). Will my child outgrow this condition? Some children do indeed outgrow accommodative esotropia. However, it takes several years and usually not before 9-12 years of age or older.
