Learn About Esotropia

What is the definition of Esotropia?
Esotropia is form of eye misalignment (strabismus) in which one or both eyes turn inward. Esotropia can occur at any time in life. There are several types of esotropia that are characterized by its onset, causes, and symptoms, such as accommodative esotropia, non-accommodative esotropia, divergence insufficiency type esotropia, microtropia/monofixation syndrome, sensory esotropia, consecutive esotropia, and other forms of esotropia associated with eye injury, thyroid eye disease, or nerve paralysis.
What are the symptoms of Esotropia?
Symptoms of esotropia depend on the type and severity of the esotropia but include an inward turning of one or both eyes; lazy eye (amblyopia), in which one eye has decreased vision; and double vision in adults.

What are the current treatments for Esotropia?
While esotropia in infants under 20 weeks old usually resolves without treatment, in individuals over 4 months old treatment is focused on aligning the eyes, improving vision, relieving double vision, and treating lazy eye (amblyopia). Treatment for esotropia includes the use of glasses, eye patches, eyes exercises, botulinum toxin (Botox), and strabismus surgery.
