Comparing two surgical techniques for partially accommodative esotropia
Medial Rectus Muscle Fenestration Versus Medial Rectus Recession for Partially Accommodative Esotropia
This study is testing whether a new surgical method for eye muscle adjustment can help people with partially accommodative esotropia just as well as the traditional method.

What this trial studies
This prospective comparative study evaluates the effectiveness of medial rectus muscle fenestration versus recession in patients with partially accommodative esotropia (PAET). Patients will undergo thorough ophthalmic and orthoptic assessments before being randomly assigned to one of two surgical groups: one receiving conventional MR recession and the other MR fenestration. The study aims to determine if MR fenestration is as effective as MR recession in treating PAET. All surgeries will be performed by a single experienced surgeon to ensure consistency in technique.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with partially accommodative esotropia who have a residual distance deviation greater than 15 prism diopters with full cycloplegic correction.
Not a fit: Patients with convergence excess esotropia, paralytic or restrictive strabismus, or those who have had previous strabismus surgery will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more effective surgical option for patients with partially accommodative esotropia.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on surgical techniques for strabismus, this specific comparison of MR fenestration versus recession in PAET is relatively novel.
