Refractive correction for accommodative esotropia and/or surgical alignment of the eyes in these cases can reduce nystagmus intensity, convert manifest-latent nystagmus to latent-latent nystagmus and improve binocular VA.
Management of nystagmus
As yet, there is no known inheritance pattern for concomitant strabismus, and while accommodative esotropia seems to have a stronger genetic link than other types of concomitant strabismus, it is possible that the individual may inherit the risk factor (high hyperopia) rather than a single gene.
