Trial summary

In most clinics, physicians reduce diopter of hyperopic glasses in older patients with accommodative esotropia. However, there are risks of decompensation in that practice. The authors are going to try measure the change of stability of eye alignment after reducing diopter of hyperopic glasses. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Maximal Tolerable Reduction in Hyperopic Correction in Patients With Refractive Accommodative Esotropia: A 6-month Follow-up Study

In most clinics, physicians reduce diopter of hyperopic glasses in older patients with accommodative esotropia. However, there are risks of decompensation in that practice. The authors are going to try measure the change of stability of eye alignment after reducing diopter of hyperopic glasses.

Read the detailed description

Inclusion criteria :

patients with accommodative esotropia

At initial visit(of study), the physician will reduce the diopter of hyperopic glasses as much as the patient can maintain their eye alignment (maximum amount 1.5D).

Outcome measure :

Follow-up examinations are scheduled at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the patients begin wearing under-corrected spectacles. At every visit, symptoms such as asthenopia, diplopia, or blurred vision will be documented and ocular examinations, including visual acuity and ocular alignment status for distance and near will be performed. Tests of fusion and stereoacuity will be performed at the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up visits.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. eye alignment
