Management of intermittent esotropia.
Management of patients with intermittent esotropia having either normal or high accommodative convergence to accomodation (AC:A) ratios is discussed. Treatment should be based on liberal use of miotics to build up fusional reserves and use of hyperopic corrections or bifocals or both whenever specifically indicated. Divergent fusional reserve training is time-consuming and the cost/benefit ratio so low that most patients and doctors prefer the former treatment.
