Comparison of Medial Rectus Recession Versus Lateral Rectus Resection in Divergence Insufficiency Esotropia: A Comparative Analysis
Abstract
Purpose: We compared the surgical outcomes of medial rectus recession (MR Rc) and lateral rectus resection (LR Rs) in patients with divergence insufficiency esotropia, characterized by greater esotropia (ET) at distance than at near.Methods: This retrospective comparative study included 22 patients who underwent either MR Rc or LR Rs for divergence insufficiency esotropia, defined as comitant ET with >8 prism diopters (PD) difference between distance and near, with persistent diplopia at distance. Surgical success was defined as final deviation
