Introduction: To investigate clinical characteristics of microtropia.
Methods: Twenty patients with primary microtropia were studied.
Results: Irvine prism test was positive in all the patients by using prisms of different strengths and positions. All the patients had abnormal fusion at near. At distance, 15 patients had abnormal fusion by the BSG and 8 patients had abnormal fusion by the W4D. Ten patients had gross stereopsis and the rest had no measurable stereopsis.
Conclusions: All patients with microtropia have abnormal fusion, which does not guarantee the presence of stereopsis. The difference in fuson between near and distance is due to the weakness of fusion. With occlusion treatment, amblyopia can be improved, whereas binocular defects of microtropia can not be improved.
