Binocular function after surgical alignment of infantile esotropia

A Spierer. Metab Pediatr Syst Ophthalmol (1985). 1988.

Abstract

Fifty patients with infantile esotropia, randomly selected, and operated at different ages, were evaluated in regard to their final alignment and sensory results. Comparisons of the age groups above and below 36 months of age, did not reveal a difference in their postoperative alignment. Sensory testing showed that a lower percentage of binocularity was found in patients operated on and aligned after 36 months of age. Most patients showed evidence of binocularity in only one of the sensory tests that were used in this study.
