Abstract
We studied the effects of orthoptic training on binocular vision and aligment after surgery retrospectively in 8 patients of acquired partially accommodative esotropia. Normal retinal correspondence (NRC) was found in 2 cases and anomalous retinal correspondence (ARC) in 6 cases.A kinetic bi-retinal stimulation and chasing training for NRC cases, and a keinetic bi-retinal stimulation and proprioceptive re-orientation training was performed on ARC cases. These trainings were continued for 15 days on an average.Binocular vision improved in 5 cases of ARC and in all cases of NRC. Among those who underwent surgery before orthoptic training, there were some cases whose eye position did not improve to the parallel alignment. However, intended surgical correction was obtained in one patient who underwent surgery during the course of orthoptic training.The present results seem to demonstrate that orthoptic training is effective for the improvement of binocular vision in NRC patients. They also seem to suggest that presurgical orthoptic training for ARC cases may improve the surgical results.
