Abstract :
Purpose: This study compares two methods of surgical augmentation, namely prism adaptation and the augmented surgery formula, in the management of acquired comitant esotropia.Methods: Forty patients were included in the study. These were divided equally into two groups: Group A (Augmented Surgery Formula Group) and Group P (Prism Adaptation Group). Group A patients underwent surgery based on an augmented surgery formula, defined as the average of the near deviation without correction and the distance deviation with correction. Group P patients had preoperative prism adaptation, at the end of which they were classified as prism adaptation responders (fusers) or nonresponders (nonfusers). All group P patients underwent surgery for the prism-adapted angle.
