My child has been on single vision lenses for accommodative esotropia for a year now and she still manifests some inward deviation while wearing her glasses. Will she benefit from surgery?
Sometimes, a non-accommodative esotropia is superimposed on an accommodative type. This usually happens when there was a delay in optical treatment. Surgery can be done for this deviation. However, this does not mean that your child can be free from glasses after the surgery. She will still need to wear her full correction after the surgery in order to correct the accommodative esotropia due to her high refractive error.
