Presentation
This finding suggests better binocular vision outcome is determined before presentation. Higher grade binocular vision is associated with late presentation rather than early detection and treatment. [bjo.bmj.com]
Sixty-four cases have presented to the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust over the last 10 years. This descriptive paper outlines the clinical characteristics of this cohort of patients. [bioj-online.com]
The cases presented demonstrate the management options. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
This presentation reviews information on its causes, diagnosis and treatment. 1. Accommodative Esotropia Dominick M. [slideshare.net]
History This usually presents as an acquired, intermittent esotropia. Parents often describe the eyes being straight at times; however will cross when the child is tired or focusing on something up-close. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Fever
Three patients required oral medication for fever. None had to discontinue atropine. Discussion An accommodative esotrope often has straight eyes when not accommodating. [ijo.in]

Stereopsis was observed in 89% of children at the most recent examination. 11 Berk and colleagues reviewed 147 Turkish patients, of whom 59% were amblyopic at presentation. [aao.org]

Malaise
No CNS abnormalities were evident from history (headaches, nausea, vomiting, clumsiness, general malaise, trauma, recent weight changes, hormonal changes, growth defects) or by ocular examination (including pupil function and eyelid position). [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

However, topical miotics are cholinesterase inhibitors with significant systemic absorption, giving rise to gastrointestinal hypermotility, nausea, and headaches. [aao.org]

Workup
An eye examination should be a part of the torticollis workup to rule out an ocular cause for the abnormality. Early intervention can improve the torticollis, reduce neck pain, and lessen the need for regular physical therapy. [contemporarypediatrics.com]
Treatment
A non-accommodative component and amblyopia could set in if treatment is not initiated at the proper time. What are the treatment options for accommodative esotropia? The usual initial intervention done is optical correction. [eye.com.ph]
He also argued that if long-term failure rate from optical treatment was high, there was no reason to subject the patients to difficulties for years. [eurotimes.org]
Treatment To date, there is no consensus on the best treatment for high AC:A ratio accommodative esotropia. [aao.org]
CASE REPORT(S): A 3-year-old girl with behavior problems was referred for amblyopia treatment due to noncompliance with occlusion therapy. [aaopt.org]
If amblyopia is present, treatment for this, in addition to the glasses, may be required. Treatment sometimes involves patching or eye drops. Many children lose some of their farsightedness as they get older and will outgrow their glasses. [eyegroupsi.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis Some, but not all children, will grow out of accommodative esotropia and will no longer require glasses to have straight eyes. This usually occurs around puberty. [texaschildrens.org]
Accommodative esotropia is the most common form of childhood strabismus and has a favourable prognosis, if appropriate treatment is initiated promptly. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Prognosis Studies have demonstrated binocularity of at least peripheral fusion in around 70% of patients with accommodative esotropia. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Etiology
Title: Title Etiology Uncorrected hypermetropic refractive error Retinal image blur Makes no effort to accomodate Orthotropia Bilateral ametropic amblyopia Title: Title Etiology Accommodation Accommodative Convergence Insuffficient fusional divergence [authorstream.com]
Etiology Accommodative esotropia is caused by accommodative convergence associated with hyperopia. [eyewiki.aao.org]
It is extremely important to evaluate the cause of the deviation, because the management would vary depending on the etiology. [djo.org.in]

Epidemiology
Epidemiology Race No racial predilection exists. Sex No sex predilection exists. Age This condition usually presents by the age of 2 years. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Management Epidemiological studies show that accommodative esotropia is a common presentation. 1 There is a considerable body of evidence suggesting that correction of hypermetropia should take a central role in the management of accommodative esotropia [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Pathophysiology
Amblyopia is reduced visual acuity due to an abnormal visual experience early in life. [1] Pathophysiology A patient with uncorrected hyperopia must accommodate to clear a blurred retinal image. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology A patient with hyperopia must accommodate to clear a blurred image. Accommodation will stimulate convergence. If fusional divergence is insufficient to compensate for this, an esotropia will develop. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Pathophysiology The mechanism involves a high AC:A ratio, whereby accommodative effort results in an abnormally high convergence response. [aao.org]
Prevention
Children with any of these risk factors may benefit from early spectacle correction or preventive therapy, the study authors said. Eileen E. [healio.com]
Can they wear glasses to prevent developing a squint? Accommodative esotropia is a hereditary condition. Most accommodative esotropes have a history of either farsightedness or squint among first or second degree relatives. [eye.com.ph]
This amount of esotropia prevents binocular visual development. Some suggest prism adaption with Fresnel prisms prior to surgery. [eyewiki.aao.org]
However, this reduction in the deviation angle changed the surgical plans and perhaps prevented future consecutive exotropia in some cases. [nature.com]
Several studies, indeed, described that eliminating retinal blur by wearing glasses may prevent emmetropization [ 18 – 21 ]. [journals.plos.org]
