ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAE) whose refractive errors were gradually reduced to below +2.00 diopters (D) during follow-up but use of spectacles was still required for maintenance of good ocular alignment.METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of patients diagnosed with RAE from 1995 to 2011. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their ocular alignment at the last visit. Inclusion criteria were hyperopia > or =+2.00 D detected with cycloplegic refraction at the initial visit, which then became mild hyperopia ( or =10 prism diopters [PD]) without spectacles (group A) and 66 patients showed good ocular alignment (<10 PD) without spectacles (group B) at the last visit. No statistically significant differences in the spherical equivalent of the refractive errors at the initial and last visit were observed between the two groups. A significantly lower number of positive responses on the Lang I stereotest was observed in group A (n = 1, 3.8%) compared to group B (n = 22, 33.3%) (p = 0.003). There were increasing trends toward group A with worsening stereoacuity measured by the Stereo Fly Stereotest between the two groups (p = 0.016, linear by linear association). The results of the Lang I test, Stereo Fly Stereotest, and duration between the onset of esotropia and prescribing spectacles showed a significant association with the discontinuation of spectacles in the univariate logistic analysis.CONCLUSIONS:
Stereoacuity showed more significant associations than refractive errors in RAE with refractive error <+2.00 D but still required spectacles for maintenance of good ocular alignment. The prompt treatment of accommodative esotropia at the onset of esotropia is important for the discontinuation of spectacles.
