Diplopia
G.Vicente,MD
Diplopia Can be a very debilitating symptom affecting lifestyle and quality of life.

Accommodative esotropia
Typically presents around age 2 years, may present acutely. Always put +3.00 sph OU when you see an ET for the first time. If its improved or resolved think Accom ET! Why is there ET with Accommodation? Eyes will usually converge when accommodation is attempted. If high hyperope then must accommodate, if accommodating then will converge, cross, specially at near.
Accommodative ET
Use cyclogyl to measure Rx (wait 40 minutes) Recheck 4 weeks later with glasses, If still some ET present, use Atropine to make sure you measured the full CRx Tell parents they eyes will continue to cross every time the glasses come off. Always give full CRx, cycloplegic refraction for suspected Accom ET. Child might not like full CRx Use Atropine when using hyperopic glasses for the first time, it will break the accommodative spasm and allow the pt to get used to the glasses.
emmetropia
+3D +3D
+5D hyperopia (lets say the pt is able to accommodate 3D, so effectively they are only +2D hyperope)
+5D
+3D
+5D Rx +3D accom spasm = +8D, pt is only a +5.00 so Pt ends up feeling like a -3.00D myope with your Rx My son does not like the glasses you recommended, The optician was right, they are too strong

an emmetrope, WRx = plano OU pt At Distance they are ortho At near they are 25PD ET They are over converging for a normal amount of accommodation. This is a high AC/A ratio.
AC/A
Aka congenital esotropia Esotropia usually present by age 6 months Not improved with hyperopic Rx Most pts will never have good stereo Associated with inferior oblique over action And DVD, dissociated vertical deviation. The 2 latter conditions may not be present initially must remember to warn parents that if they occur in the future it is not the surgeons fault.
Must rule out other causes CN 6 palsy from birth? Often spontaneous resolution Remember some variable, intermittent strabismus is expected until 4 months of age.
Often self limited, will spontaneously resolve in 3-6 months. Acute Not improved with hyperopic glasses. Consider ruling out neoplastic causes. Treat/prevent amblyopia in the mean time
Abducens, lateral, CN 6 usually affected. Isolated unilateral palsy Ischemic Usually resolves after 4-6 months. Consider Botox in the meantime, to which muscle
The medial rectus
Botox injection to Medial Rectus For temporary lateral rectus ischemic palsy
Young pts with poor monocular vision will often develop esotropia in that eye. OKAP NOTE:::::::: DOES YOUR PEDS PT HAVE ESOTROPIA BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT SEE OUT OF THAT EYE? WHY? CATARARCT, RETINOBLASTOMA, MACULAR SCAR, ANISOMETROPIA?
Duanes Syndrome
G. Vike Vicente, MD
Duanes Syndrome
ALL FORMS RETRACT IN ADDUCTION Abda Dubba Deux Type I: deficit in abduction and retraction in adduction (due to co-contraction of MR and LR Type II: deficit in adduction Type III: both. Watch for strabismus, face turn: attitude Usually sporadic, also think Goldenhars, Wildervanck syndromes OS more common than OD Females > males Watch also for vertical pull, leashing phenomenom. Occasional absent CN 6 nucleus.

Think dense cataract X 5 years Warn pt about possible post op diplopia and need for strabismus surgery Pt may have lost the ability to fuse. Think monovision, or unilateral under correction Lasik pt who had undiagnosed intermittent exotropia.

Esotropia
G.Vicente,MD
Initially the baby has a button nose, with a very flat nasal bridge. The baby lids cover the medial white part of the eyes causing the appearance of the eyes being crossed. As the nasal bridge develops and grows forward it will drag the medial portion of the lids inward reducing the appearance of the eyes being crossed.

Exotropia
Intermittent is very common How symptomatic are they? Make sure they have BCVA glasses Diplopia? Often familial, so what? Dad had it too. What hump? Intermittent exotropia can breakdown over time, check serial stereo. If worsening think surgery. Most common time of pediatric surgery is 7 years old. Can the pt converge?
Convergence insufficiency
Seen in kids who have trouble reading Adults with Parkinsons disease Sometimes over diagnosed by some vision therapy developmental optometrist. Consider
Convergence exercises by an orthoptist, or software Decreasing add in bifocals to extend reading distance (holding reading material further away) Prisms, etc. pencil pushups.

Adjustable vs Fixed sutures. Re-ops
Different measurements based on eye fixation

Alternate Cover test with Prism Exotropia, Constant Use prism to quantitate the deviation. Change prism power until movement is neutralized. Use this number to plan surgery
G.Vicente,MD
Exotropia
Remember to measure while fixating at a far distance. Also use +3.00 sph in front of each eye to eliminate the accommodative convergence component at distance. Consider 30 minute patch test to break fusion and really see how bad the XT can get.

Surgical Notes
Sutures:
Most stitches used in eye surgery are thinner than human hairs. They will dissolve on their own over 6 weeks. They may make your eye feel scratchy for the first few weeks. The antibiotic ointment and a cool compresses will alleviate this symptom if it occurs. Adjustable sutures
Precaution:
General post op hygiene Eye rubbing Can my child swim after his or her eye surgery?
