What is Accommodative Esotropia?
Accommodative esotropia is an inward deviation related to very high amount of hyperopia or farsightedness. Parents or pediatrician would usually take note of an intermittent deviation when the child is fatigued or ill. If the appropriate optical correction is not given at this insipient stage, the deviation may become constant. Amblyopia could set in once this happens. The sooner the child is treated during the intermittent stage, the better the sensory outcome is. A good sensory outcome implies good binocular vision or high-grade stereopsis.
