Complete medical history and full ophthalmological examinations before and surgery were obtained for all cases. All cases also underwent neurological examinations using brain and orbital imaging. Motor success was considered as alignment within 10 prism diopters (Δ) at both near and distance. Sensory success was defined as stereopsis ≤ 60 arcsec. Nineteen cases (Group S) underwent surgery alone and 13 cases were treated with surgery and prism adaptation (Group S+P). Motor and sensory outcomes were compared between groups.Results: Mean age at first visit was 22.0 ± 9.0 years and mean daily use of DDs use was 6.3 ± 3.4 hours. Mean angle of preoperative alignment for distance and near were 26.5 ± 13.0Δ and 24.6 ± 16.4Δ, respectively. Surgery was performed at a mean of 23.3 ± 3.5 years old and mean angle of alignment at final examination for distance and near were 5.8 ± 7.7Δ and 3.5 ± 5.7Δ, respectively. Final motor and sensory success rate were 84% and 53%, respectively. No significant differences in motor or sensory outcomes were evident between groups at initial or last visit.Conclusion: Favorable motor and sensory outcomes were achieved with surgical intervention with and without prism adaptation for AACT related to prolonged use of DDs.Keywords: acute acquired comitant esotropia, prism adaptation, strabismus surgery, visual function, digital device
