Abstract
PURPOSE
To describe the new type of acute comitant estropia with dual cause of fusional dysfunction due to occlusion and refractive-accommodative factors. METHODS: We experienced two case of acute, acquired comitant esotropia in the course of occlusion therapy. The patients had mild hyperopia and severe accommodative tendency. RESULTS: After strabismus surgery, the patients have orthophoria and stereopsis recovery. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that the patients with acute comitant esotropia and abrupt diplopia should undergo thorough ophthalmological, neurological evaluations. And, acute comitant esotropia might occur during the occlusion therapy for amblyopia.
Key Words: Accomodative tendency;Acute acquired comitant esotropia;Occlusion therapy
