Abstract
Objective
To determine the effectiveness of strabismus surgery as an alternative treatment for high accommodative convergence/accommodation (AC/A) ratio (convergence excess) esotropia.
Methods
Sixty-five consecutive children with an AC/A ratio of distance-near disparity of 10 prism diopters (PD) or more were studied in a prospective design. Each patient was treated by recession of both medial rectus muscles for the full amount of esotropia measured at near fixation through the full distance hyperopic correction. The magnitude of esodeviation, the AC/A ratio, and the grade of binocularity were measured before and after strabismus surgery.
Results
The majority of patients were able to maintain satisfactory ocular alignment after surgery, the alignment rates were 76.3% (after 1week), 82.8% (after 1 month), 85.7% (after 6 months), 92.1% (after 1 year). The grade of binocular fusion or stereopsis improved significantly in all of the patients.
Conclusions
These results demonstrate that strabismus surgery may be more effective in restoring normal stereopsis and binocular fusion for high AC/A patients.

China Practical Ophthalmology was founded in May 1983. It is supervised by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and China Medical University, and publicly distributed at home and abroad. It is a national-level excellent core academic journal of comprehensive ophthalmology and a series of journals of the Chinese Medical Association.
China Practical Ophthalmology aims to guide and improve the theoretical level and actual clinical diagnosis and treatment ability of frontline ophthalmologists in my country. It is characterized by close integration with clinical practice, and timely publishes academic articles and scientific research results with high practical value to clinicians, so that readers can understand and use them, improve the theoretical level and diagnosis and treatment ability of ophthalmologists, help and support their innovative development, and is deeply welcomed and loved by ophthalmologists and readers.
