The condition does not always progress, and postoperative esotropia can produce adverse consequences, such as suppression, amblyopia, and loss of binocular vision, particularly stereopsis. It is not known whether surgery before age two years affects the sensory outcome.Using a noncomparative (nonrandomized, uncontrolled) interventional case series, we reviewed the...
