How does periodic esotropia do?

summary

Periodic esotropia is a kind of strabismus with obvious regularity, which occurs alternately with orthotropia (or slight esotropia). Strabismus patients because of eye position is not correct, its attention to an object, the object image in the normal eye falls on the retinal fovea, periodic esotropia how to do? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

How does periodic esotropia do?

At least 6 months after onset, strabismus correction was performed. The amount of operation should be calculated according to the degree of strabismus on the day of strabismus. No matter on the day of strabismus or on the day of non strabismus, the operation will not cause overcorrection and the periodic change will disappear.

In principle, the timing of surgery should be changed to constant strabismus before surgery, but in some cases, the periodicity has been maintained for more than several years. Most of the surgical methods are internal rectus recession or internal rectus recession and external rectus shortening.

Not all strabismus need surgical treatment. If it is accommodative esotropia, it can be corrected by wearing appropriate hyperopic glasses or bifocals. In addition, axial correction training can be used to help the recovery of binocular single vision and increase the ability of image fusion.

matters needing attention

After wearing glasses, the vision of patients with strabismus has been corrected, but binocular visual function is often still impaired. These trainings not only help the position correction of strabismus, but also play a good role in the recovery of binocular single vision and the establishment of stereo perception.
