Adult-onset chronic divergence insufficiency esotropia: clinical features and response to surgery.

Purpose: To analyze the clinical and demographic features and surgical outcomes of a series of patients with adult-onset chronic divergence insufficiency esotropia to investigate novel associations of this condition with race, sex, and surgical dose-response.

Methods: The medical records from a single practice were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients with adult-onset chronic divergence insufficiency esotropia who underwent strabismus surgery over a 12-year period. Demographic, clinical, surgical, and outcome data were analyzed to determine statistically significant findings with respect to race, sex, and surgical results.
