Using Hyperopia Measurements to Predict Need for Surgery in Children with Accommodative Esotropia

A Thesis submitted to The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine. / Background: Esotropic strabismus is a condition in which the eyes are
not properly aligned with each other. In children, uncorrected esotropia
may result in permanent loss of vision due to amblyopia, a condition
where the nonpreferred, crossing eye is suppressed. Early identification
and treatment of esotropia in children is critical, as doing so may prevent
permanent loss of vision.
