Accommodative esotropia: efficacy of therapy

J Am Optom Assoc. 1987 Jul;58(7):562-6.

Abstract

Retrospective examination was performed on the records of 54 patients who had undergone treatment of accommodative esotropia. The patients were classified based on the Duane classification as having either convergence excess (n = 11) or equal esodeviations (n = 43). Over 90% of the patients achieved total restoration of normal binocular function with treatment. The results and implications of this study are discussed.
