accommodative esotropia

Accommodative esotropia is often seen in patients with moderate amounts of hyperopia.

A second type of accommodative esotropia also exists, known as 'convergence excess esotropia'.

It is used as an ocular antihypertensive in the treatment of chronic glaucoma and, in some cases, accommodative esotropia.

Treatment options for esotropia include glasses to correct refractive errors (see accommodative esotropia below), the use of prisms and/or orthoptic exercises and/or eye muscle surgery.
