Evaluation of stereopsis level and it’s associated factors in patients with refractive accommodative esotropia

Abstract

Aim: To investigate the level of stereopsis in patients with refractive accommodative esotropia and to find out
associated factors with good stereopsis.
Methods: The hospital records of patients with refractive accommodative esotropia from January 2010 to June
2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, cycloplegic refractive error, the difference of refractive error between
two eyes, angle of deviation at near and distance fixation, fusional ability and stereoacuity were evaluated.
Patients were divided into two groups according to the stereopsis level: good stereopsis (40-100 arcsec) and
poor stereopsis (>100 arcsec).
Results: A total of 62 patients were inclueded. Of them, 14 patients (22.5 %) were in good stereopsis group. The
mean age was 5.35 years (range 3-11 years). The mean age at first visit, refractive differences between eyes and
final deviation angle with spectacle were smaller in the good stereopsis group than in the poor stereopsis group.
But, only the mean deviation angle at distance was found significant statistically between two groups. (p=0.038)
Conclusion: Residual esodeviation at distance fixation was significantly lower in patients with refractive
accommodative esotropia who have good stereopsis.
