FVT was planned after minimum 6 weeks of surgery and was considered for maximum 24 weeks. Patients underwent a combination of office-based and home-based FVT. Successful outcome of therapy was considered where diplopia resolves in free space and achieves sensory fusion, stereopsis with no manifest deviation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Record of 543 patients who had horizontal muscle surgery for IXT were identified and reviewed. Records of 11 patients who showed consecutive esotropia of 10 prism diopter (PD) or more with normal retinal correspondence, with or without diplopia complaint, after 6 week of surgery and had undergone vision therapy management were reviewed. A successful outcome of binocular single vision with good sensory and motor fusion with no manifest deviation or prism requirement was achieved with in the mean duration of 4.8 month of therapy. With a mean duration of 4 weeks of therapy, the mean angle of deviation reduced by 53% for distance (17 PD to 8 PD) and 27% for near (11 PD to 8 PD) and mean stereopsis improvement by 80% with 94% patients demonstrating sensory fusion on Bagolini test and 94% of patients having no symptoms of diplopia or squint.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>With nonsurgical management involving refractive error correction, FVT, and prism, consecutive esotropia was resolved in 74% cases.
