Prism Adaptation for Esotropia
Prism Adaptation Study
Randomized controlled trial
Provides an evidence based paradigm for treatment
Candidates
Acquired Esotropia
Partially Accommodative Esotropia
Esotropia with Near > Distance
Exotropia has not been investigated thoroughly with this procedure
Procedure
Add Fresnel prism to glasses
Try to split prism equally with larger prism over eye with worse acuity if needed
Possible Outcomes
Non-Responder
Orthotropic but no sensory response
Keep prisms on and check immediately before surgery
Exotropia of any size
Stop and do surgery for entry angle
Responder
≤ 8 Prism Diopers on Simultaneous prism cover test at distance and near and
Peripheral fusion on Worth 4 Dot test or
Stereo response on Titmus Stereo test
Surgery for angle at response
Builder
> 8 Prism Diopters on Simultaneous prism cover test
Add more prism and recheck in a week
