— Orthoptic therapy was instituted in an adult, alternating esotrope with asthenopia who exhibited inaccurate static accommodative responses with adequate, clinically determined, accommodative facility. During and following therapy the patient showed considerable improvement in accommodative accuracy and related visual functions, such as contrast sensitivity, in the absence of any change in strabismic deviation. This case provides the first laboratory documentation of orthoptic effects on accommodation in an adult strabismic.
