Purpose: To investigate the clinical course in patients who underwent surgical correction of consecutive esotropia. Methods: The medical records of 13 patients who underwent surgical correction of consecutive esotropia were reviewed retrospectively. The authors investigated the deviation and surgical method at the time of exotropia surgery. During the follow up period, the authors also studied incidence of amblyopia development, the effect of occlusion therapy, surgical methods for consecutive esotropia, and postoperative change of deviation. Results: The average exodeviation was 27.1 prism diopter (PD). Bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession was performed in all patients. In all patients, alternate occlusion was tried from 2 weeks after development of consecutive esotropia. However, there was no effect on 7 patients. None of the patients developed amblyopia. Surgery for consecutive esotropia was performed on the average 15.3 months after exotropia surgery. The average esodeviation was 21.1PD. Medial rectus muscle recession was performed in 10 patients and lateral rectus muscle advancement in 3 patients. The average deviation of the subject group immediately after surgery was 1.2PD esodeviation, 0.9PD esodeviation one month after surgery, 2.4PD exodeviation 6 months after surgery, and 4.7PD exodeviation at the last follow up, and it showed a tendency to progress to exodeviation as the follow up period increased. Ten patients (76.9%) showed deviation within 8PD at the last follow up. Conclusions: The success rate of surgical correction for consecutive esotropia was a favorable outcome. But, careful decisions of the surgical method and amount is needed because the conversion of exodeviation during long-term follow-up is possible
