While the consecutive esotropia was appeared after surgery, especially for the visually immature children, the binocular vision would be damaged severely. By changing the different convergence components the early stage of consecutive esotropia after surgery, the incidence of consecutive esotropia may be reduced. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2013, 22: 292-294)
