Costs and methods of preventive visual screening and the relation between esotropia and increasing hypermetropia [PDF]
Atkinson has shown that early correction of hypermetropia reduces the incidence of esotropia. If esotropia is reduced by prescribing glasses early, the rate of esotropia-induced amblyopia can be similarly reduced; this would have important economic ...
