PG  - 409-10
AB  - Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was performed on a 19-year-old man with 
      hyperopic astigmatism and refractive accommodative esotropia. The patient was 
      orthophoric while wearing spectacles, but had an esotropia of 30 prism dioptres 
      at near and distance vision without spectacles. The best corrected visual acuity 
      of the right eye was 20/50 and of the left eye was 20/20. The excessive 
      accommodative convergence of the patient was eliminated by correcting the 
      hyperopic refractive error by performing PRK, and the patient became orthophoric 
      after the treatment.
