Abstract

Prevalence of refractive errors it is estimated that globally 153
million people over 5 years of age are visually impaired as a result of
uncorrected refractive errors.
Strabismus is an ocular misalignment or a tendency towards
misalignment.
Most patients with uncorrected hypermetropia will attempt to clear
the image blur by increasing accommodative effort that will cause
excess accommodative convergence. if fusional divergence is
insufficient to compensate for this impulse to converge the eyes and
in the presence of normal or high AC/A ratio, esotropia will develope.
Refractive accommodative esotropia is an esotropia that is restored
to orthotropia by optical correction of the underlying hypermetropia at
all fixation distance and in all gaze positions.
Summary
66
Anaemia in childhood is defined as a haemoglobin (Hb)
concentration below established cut-off levels.
Twelve percent of children <5 years ago in the developed countries
and 51% of children in the same age group in developing countries
are anemic.
The likely cause of childhood anaemia varies depending on the area
of the world that the child lives in. Overall, iron deficiency is the most
common cause.
Iron is important to the normal development and functioning of
dopamineric neurons and that early changes could lead to permanent
damage.
Anemia is a disease, which affects many hematologic and nonhematologic
systems. It has effects on biochemical changes of cellular
functions, growth, psychomotor development, behavior, mental
development, immune system, physical capacity, gastrointestinal
system and thermo regulation.
Summary
67
We have aimed to investigate the relationship between anemia and
accommodative esotropia in children.
Result of the study has demonstrated that accommodative esotropia
may be caused by anemia, which is known to affect neurosensorial
development.
