Esotropia. Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [1] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria.
Sixth nerve palsy, or abducens nerve palsy, is a disorder associated with dysfunction of cranial nerveVI (the abducens nerve), which is responsible for causing contraction of the lateral rectus muscleto abduct(i.e., turn out) the eye.[1] The inability of an eye to turn outward, results in a convergent strabismusor esotropiaof which the primary ...
Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. [2] The eye that is pointed at an object can alternate. [3] The condition may be present occasionally or constantly. [3] If present during a large part of childhood, it may result in amblyopia, or lazy eyes, and loss of depth ...
Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, ... Unlike esotropia, fusion is possible and therefore diplopia is uncommon. References
Ophthalmology. Infantile esotropia is an ocular condition of early onset in which one or either eye turns inward. It is a specific sub-type of esotropia and has been a subject of much debate amongst ophthalmologists with regard to its naming, diagnostic features, and treatment.
Specialty. Ophthalmology. Exotropia is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than exophoria. People with exotropia often experience crossed diplopia. Intermittent exotropia is a fairly common condition. "Sensory exotropia" occurs in the presence ...
Anisometropia is caused by common refractive errors, such as astigmatism, far-sightedness, and myopia, in one eye. [ 6] Anisometropia is likely the result of both genetic and environmental influences. [ 7] Some studies suggest, in older adults, developing asymmetric cataracts may cause worsen anisometropia.
Optic papillitis is a specific type of optic neuritis. Inflammation of the optic nerve head is called "papillitis" or "intraocular optic neuritis"; inflammation of the orbital portion of the nerve is called "retrobulbar optic neuritis" or "orbital optic neuritis". [1] It is often associated with substantial losses in visual fields, pain on ...
