Hypermetropia and esotropia in myotonic dystrophy
Copyright policy )Hypermetropia and esotropia in myotonic dystrophy
To review detailed ophthalmic examinations of myotonic dystrophy patients especially with regard to refractive error and ocular alignment.Retrospective chart review of detailed ophthalmic examinations of 32 patients (27 children and 5 adults) with myotonic dystrophy.The majority (86%) of eyes were hypermetropic. The average degree of hypermetropia was +6.0 D for children and +2.10 D for adults: 56% of children had esotropia; 22% had amblyopia.Children with myotonic dystrophy should receive detailed eye examinations with emphasis placed on recognition and management of hypermetropia and strabismus.
