esotropia

If it moved from in to out, the person has esotropia.

In one study, over 50% of patients had strabismus, mainly esotropia.

In esotropia the light lands on the lateral aspect of the cornea.

It often results post surgical treatment of congenital esotropia.

Accommodative esotropia is often seen in patients with moderate amounts of hyperopia.

Maria suffered from Esotropia giving her a "cross-eyed" appearance.

Unlike esotropia, fusion is possible and therefore diplopia is uncommon.

It is the opposite of esotropia.

Someone with esotropia will squint with either the right or the left eye but never with both eyes simultaneously.

The chances of an esotropia developing in these cases will depend to some degree on the amount of hyperopia present.

In such cases, known as 'fully accommodative esotropias', the esotropia will only be seen when the child removes their glasses.

It is a constant esotropia of large and consistent size with onset between birth and six months of age.

Exotropia and esotropia are also known as divergent or convergent squint respectively.

Infantile esotropia is an ocular condition of early onset in which one or either eye turns inward.

Incomitant esotropias are conditions in which the esotropia varies in size with direction of gaze.

People with exotropia or esotropia are wall-eyed or cross-eyed respectively.

The nerve dysfunction induces esotropia, a convergent squint on distance fixation.

In 1839, Dieffenbach performed the first successful myotomy for the treatment of strabismus on a seven-year old boy with esotropia.

Concomitant esotropia can itself be subdivided into esotropias that are ether constant, or intermittent.

What is Esotropia?

Clinically Infantile esotropia must be distinguished from:

Primary Constant esotropia.

A constant esotropia, as the name implies, is present all the time, with and without glasses, if worn, and at all fixation distances.

This accommodation-convergence synkinesis can result in esotropia, or eyes that turn in when the ratio between accommodation and convergence is unusually high.

It is used as an ocular antihypertensive in the treatment of chronic glaucoma and, in some cases, accommodative esotropia.
