REDUCTION OF ANISOMETROPIA & AMBLYOPIA IN A NON-FIXATING EYE FOLLOWING ESOTROPIA SURGERY &V ISION THERAPY

This is the case of a 28-month-old child who presented to us with anisometropia, amblyopia and a partially accommodative esotropia. The latter condition was subsequently surgically altered, resulting in a consecutive exotropia. The patient’s anisometropia decreased following a regimen of full spectacle correction, occlusion (direct patching) and vision therapy. The reduction of anisometropia coincided with the improvement of binocularity and visual acuity. A discussion of the relationship among the development of anisometropia, amblyopia, esotropia and consecutive exotropia is presented.
