Accommodative Esophoria occurs when excessive accommodation is required to compensate for far-sightedness. When a child tries to read, this Esophoria often breaks into an Accommodative Strabismus, Esotropia, commonly known as a ‘Squint’. Squinting often leads to the development of a lazy eye, with one eye failing to develop naturally. It also affects stereoscopic vision (depth perception).
Early detection and treatment of accommodative squinting are essential. Studies conducted by senior Israeli ophthalmologists and specialists worldwide point to progressive lenses as the sure cure. Progressive lenses provide the ideal solution for reducing near-point stress because the focus automatically adjusts to the viewing distance, making it easier to control the squint.
Children tend to associate bifocals with old people. As a result, bifocals on a child can lead to biting jokes on the part of peers. On the other hand, progressives look like ordinary lenses and are easier to adapt to. Even better, they are lighter and thinner than bifocals, making them more aesthetically pleasing.
