Clinical Evaluation of the Strabismus Patient

ABSTRACT

The authors studied 410 cases of strabismus patients who visited our clinic from 1973 to 1978 Among them, 170 cases of esotropia, 234 cases of exotropia and 6 cases of hypertropia were observed. The average age at the time of onset was 3.4 years in esotropia and 5.2 years in exotropia. Visul acuity in exotropia was relatively good. 0.7 or more visual acuity was 53 % in exotropia and 34.7 % in exotropia. Refractive status, hypertropia above 1.5D was 64. 2 % in esotropia, but, no specific correlation was found between exotropia and refractive status. The incidence of amblyopia was 33.1 % in esotropia and 19.7 % in exotropia. In accomodative esotropia, the patients with high AC/A ratio were treated with bifocal segment glasses. and the results were good.
