Titel | Long-term evolution of age-related distance esotropia |
Abstract Nr. | 1048 |
Doel | To evaluate the evolution of horizontal deviation and fusional amplitudes both at distance and at near in patients with age-related distance esotropia. |
Methodes | Thirty-one elderly patients, aged between 64 and 86, presenting permanent or intermittent distance esotropia with a follow-up of at least 60 months (60 months to 161 months; average 80.2 months) were included in this study. Horizontal deviation, fusional convergence and divergence amplitude were measured both at distance and near. First and last measurements were compared. |
Resultaten | Distance esodeviation ranged between 2 and 12 prism dioptres (PD) esotropia (ET) at the initial examination, and ranged between 2 and 25 PD ET at the final examination. Near deviation varied from 10 PD exophoria (X’) to 8 PD esophoria (E’) at the initial examination, and ranged between 4 PD X’ and 14 PD ET’ at the final examination. Fusional divergence amplitude at distance ranged between 0 and 10 PD both at the initial examination and at the final examination. At near, fusional divergence amplitude ranged between 4 and 18 PD at the initial examination, and ranged between 2 and 16 PD at the final examination. Fusional convergence amplitude at distance ranged between 4 to 22 PD at the initial examination, and ranged between 5 and 22 PD at the final examination. At near, fusional convergence amplitude ranged between 10 and 44 PD at the initial examination, and ranged between 8 and 42 PD at the final examination. |
Conclusie | This study indicates that patients with age-related distance esotropia experience a slight increase in distance esodeviation both at distance (p < 0.001) and at near (p = 0.004), while no significant change in fusional amplitudes were observed over time (p ≥ 0.05). |
