Angle-supported refractive implantation in stable, adult accommodative esotropia.
A patient with hyperopia and accommodative esotropia was implanted bilaterally with hyperopic angle-supported refractive implants. Control of the esotropia was achieved as was some improvement in fusional ability. After three years, the endothelium remains healthy, the eye is quiet and control of the esotropia is maintained.
