ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To examine the occurrence and risk factors of decompensation and the additional treatment of increased hyperopia in refractive accommodative esotropia.METHODS:
Seventy children with refractive accommodative esotropia were followed up for at least 2 years. Time of decompensation and additional treatment, initial refractive error, initial deviation, and controlled deviation were all studied.RESULTS:
Decompensation and additional treatment occurred on average at 21.8 months and 22.2 months in eight patients, respectively, and constant survival was achieved after 4 years of full correction of the refractive error, as shown on a Kaplan-Meier survival curve. In the decompensation, additional treatment and control groups, initial refractive errors were 3.97+/-1.07D, 4.06+/-1.92D and 4.60+/-1.29D, respectively; initial deviations were 36.25+/-12.75PD, 31.25+/-10.61PD and 26.02+/-8.62PD, respectively; and controlled deviations were 4.50+/-6.30PD, 4.50+/-4.63PD and 2.65+/-4.10PD, respectively. There was a significant difference in initial deviation between the decompensation and control groups (p=0.011).CONCLUSIONS:
The treatment of decompensation and increased hyperopia warranted careful follow-up in the first 4 years after treatment, and patients with large initial deviation risked decompensation.
