PURPOSE: To
report the occurrence of mirror image congenital esotropia and concordant
hypermetropia in a pair of monozygotic twins.
METHODS: A pair of twins was recruited through the Australian Twin
Registry. Zygosity was determined by questionnaire, physical appearance, and
standard genotyping. Visual acuity was measured using the logMAR chart at 3 m
followed by cycloplegic refraction using the Topcon autorefractor.
RESULTS: Twin 1 developed right eye esotropia at 2 years of age with
bilateral hypermetropia (right = +5.75 D, left = +5.75 D). Twin 2 developed left
eye esotropia at age 2 years with bilateral hypermetropia (right = +6.75, left =
+7.50).
CONCLUSIONS: We describe the first reported case of mirror image
congenital esotropia with concordant hypermetropia in monozygotic twins.
