Long term motor and sensory outcome after surgery for infantile esotropia and risk factors for residual and consecutive deviations.

Conclusions: Successful motor alignment may be obtained with single surgery in infantile esotropia; however, reoperations are common. Younger age at first surgery may be associated with both higher rate of stereopsis and risk of reoperation. Careful preoperative assessment and surgical timing, with long-term postoperative follow-up is required to achieve satisfactory outcome.
