The Correlation between the Refractive Error of Patient and the Degree of Squint
The aim of this paper is to study the relation between (the esotropia and hypermetropia) and the relation between the (exotropia and myopia) for children in different ages. In this study 54 cases were diagnosed with squint of different ages. This work has been carried out by the directory of IbnAl-Haytham Hospital in Baghdad/Iraq for years (15/02/2015) measuring the degree of squint of each eye for children with esotropia who have a hypermetropia and treated with positive lenses. Also dealing with children with exotropia who have myopia and can be treated with negative lenses. This study to investigate the relation between the squint and refractive error for children because it has great importance for treatment way. It is founded that for the esotropic cases need not an over correction, but for exotropic need an over correction.
