[History of accommodative strabismus].
Starting with the ideas of Donders, a method has been developed of non-surgical treatment of the so-called accommodative esotropia (glasses, bifocals, prisms, miotics), surgery being only considered if insufficient results are obtained: these results are analyzed. The method of Gobin is in opposition with this method by not admitting the role of hypermetropia and by doing systematically a "four muscles surgery" (on two medial recti and on two oblique muscles).
