Abstract
Many children with accommodative esotropia are able to successfully discontinue spectacle wear, while others require spectacle correction into adulthood. Parents often ask about the likelihood of glasses being required on a long-term basis and whether use of spectacles will cause dependency. Most infants are hyperopic and gradually become emmetropic. The extent to which accommodation and spectacle use affect this process is still debated. However, certain characteristics, such as degree of hyperopia, can help predict long-term spectacle requirement.
