What is an accommodative esotropy?

Ascomodative esotropy is an ophthalmological problem that is most commonly seen in children who are far -sighted but have not yet been diagnosed with visual problems. In children with accommodative esotropics, the eyes show esotrropic in which one or both eyes turn inside the nose when they try to focus on distant objects. Also known as "crossed eyes", esotropy caused by vision problems is very repaired with an ophthalmologist and correction will have a huge difference in the patient's quality of life. The eyes will try to compensate for a problem, and when someone focuses on something or is very tired, one or both eyes can start wandering toward the nose during an attempt. The umbrella term "strabisma" is used to describe situations in which the eyes do not compare, and in the case of esotropy Strabism is manifested in the form of crossing to some extent. Visual correction will reduce the focus of difficulty and reduce the tension to the eyes. In some cases bifocals may be prescribed to solve problems withVisual eye both with close and distant objects. Improvement is generally almost immediate for glasses.

In other cases, it may be necessary to perform strabismal surgery to solve the problem. Surgery is usually recommended only after it is clear that wearing repair equipment will not work. Before performing an operation for children with accommodative esotropics, parents should ask about the risks of surgery, healing time and all special instructions for the care of subsequent care to be followed.

Eye problems in young children are often not recognized unless the child presents apparent symptoms such as accommodative esotropy. The child does not have to realize that his vision is unusual, especially before the start of the school. Once at school, eye problems are sometimes wrong with learning or other problems, unless a child specifically identifies the problem of vision, such as the inability to see the board. It is good to regularly take a child to the ofTalmologists to investigate to confirm that the eyes are healthy and identify the early signs of vision problems in order to provide treatment in time.
