Abstract
Purpose: To report the incidence of various clinical types, predisposing factors and associations of concomitant esotropias.
Design: Prospective randomized population based study.
Materials & Methodology: 100 patients who attended squint clinic of Regional institute of Ophthalmology, Thiruvananthapuram were included in the study.
Results: Of the 100 cases in our study, Infantile esotropia constituted majority (38%) followed by Basic Esotropias (23%), Partially accommodative (22%) & Accomodative Esotropias (12%). Pattern deviation (37%) Inferior oblique overaction (28%), DVD(21%), Positive family history (20%) were the associations noted. Most common refractive error in study population was Hyperopia (55.17%). Astigmatic shift was noted in 32.76% & Myopia in 12.07%.31% had amblyopia at presentation of which majority (61.29%) improved with occlusion therapy.
Conclusion: This study provides a population based data on the most prevalent forms, predisposing factors & associations of concomitant esotropias. Knowledge of various clinical types & accurate estimate of predisposing factors & associations are important to decide on treatment.
