Consecutive accommodative esotropia. 1985

E L Raab

This paper reports nine patients who developed accommodative esotropia following correction of intermittent exotropia. Eight cases originally were esotropic; one was esotropic secondary to previous surgery for nonaccommodative esotropia. All had the pattern of "divergence excess." In seven patients recession of both lateral recti had been performed in conventional amounts; one case had a recession/resection procedure, and one case recession of the lateral recti followed by resection of the medial recti. In all cases the consecutive accommodative esotropia included an abnormally high distance/near relationship. All were controlled by appropriate optical or drug treatment, and six cases deteriorated later. Surgical overcorrection was not a prominent contributing factor. Preoperative occlusion and/or the +3.00 D test would not have predicted the persistence of the high distance/near relationship. There were no other obvious indicators of this complication.

D011183	Postoperative Complications	Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.

D004948	Esotropia	A form of ocular misalignment characterized by an excessive convergence of the visual axes, resulting in a "cross-eye" appearance. An example of this condition occurs when paralysis of the lateral rectus muscle causes an abnormal inward deviation of one eye on attempted gaze.

D005099	Exotropia	A form of ocular misalignment where the visual axes diverge inappropriately. For example, medial rectus muscle weakness may produce this condition as the affected eye will deviate laterally upon attempted forward gaze. An exotropia occurs due to the relatively unopposed force exerted on the eye by the lateral rectus muscle, which pulls the eye in an outward direction.

D000065	Accommodation, Ocular	The dioptric adjustment of the EYE (to attain maximal sharpness of retinal imagery for an object of regard) referring to the ability, to the mechanism, or to the process. Ocular accommodation is the effecting of refractive changes by changes in the shape of the CRYSTALLINE LENS. Loosely, it refers to ocular adjustments for VISION, OCULAR at various distances.

D013285	Strabismus	Misalignment of the visual axes of the eyes. In comitant strabismus the degree of ocular misalignment does not vary with the direction of gaze. In noncomitant strabismus the degree of misalignment varies depending on direction of gaze or which eye is fixating on the target.
