L’hypermétrope ésotrope accommodatif

Abstract

Hypermetropia and esotropia are two visual defects that can be related. Hypermetropia is a refractive error that causes blurred vision at distance and near. Esotropia is a convergence disorder that causes excessive convergence of the eyes. When hypermetropia is moderate, the subject can compensate for this defect through accommodation effort, but this can lead to esotropia. The treatment of hypermetropia and esotropia typically involves full optical correction, which means correcting the measured hypermetropia. This normalizes the accommodative tone and avoids unnecessary accommodative effort that generates convergence and strabismus.
