Research progress on the risk factors and treatment of consecutive esotropia after exotropia surgeries / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

ABSTRACT

Consecutive strabismus refers to the secondary manifest strabismus right after or a period after strabismus surgeries, including consecutive esotropia and consecutive exotropia. It is reported that the incidence of consecutive esotropia is 6%-20%. Consecutive esotropia may lead to increased risks of amblyopia and visual deficiency in children and diplopia in adults. As the multiformity and complexity of continuous esotropia, there exist many challenges for clinicians to know the risk factors well and select appropriate treatment. The article reviews the latest research progress on the risk factors and treatment strategies of consecutive esotropia, aiming to help better evaluate the risks of continuous esotropia after exotropia surgeries, adjust the operation plans, and provide references to select the appropriate treatment plan.
