title: Comitant strabismus.
abstract: This review reports on articles written on comitant strabismus during the past year. Congenital esotropia was a recurring theme in these publications. Included in this review are articles that provide an insight into the basis for motor epiphenomena such as optokinetic nystagmus asymmetry and latent nystagmus. The optimum window of opportunity to achieve quality binocular vision by surgical alignment in congenital esotropia is discussed. We also report on articles that address various aspects of the management of comitant strabismus including the amount of medial rectus recession for esotropia, the target angle for best results in accommodative esotropia with high accommodation convergence/accommodation ratio, and issues related to comitant exotropia.
