In a left esotropia, the left eye 'squints', and in a right esotropia the right eye 'squints'. In an alternating esotropia, the patient is able to alternate fixation between their right and left eye so that at one moment the right eye fixates and the left eye turns inward, and at the next the left eye fixates and the right turns inward. This ...

For an abnormal result, based on where the light lands on the cornea, the examiner can detect if there is an exotropia (abnormal eye is turned out), esotropia (abnormal eye is turned in), hypertropia (abnormal eye higher than the normal one) or hypotropia (abnormal eye is lower than the normal one).
diplopia or double vision - more seen in adults (maturity / plasticity of neural pathways) and suppression mechanisms of the brain in sorting out the images from the two eyes. cyclotropia, a cyclotorsional deviation of the eyes (rotation around the visual axis), particularly when the root cause is an oblique muscle paresis causing the hypertropia.
Dr. Emanuel warns that there are some specific symptoms along with pain behind the eyes, including scleral injection (red, bloodshot eyes), double-vision (or vision changes overall), fever, nausea ...
The eye that is suppressing is the eye which the corresponding line is not seen. Two lines: If the patient sees two lines, this means that there is no suppression of either eye. Disappearing line: The patient may report that they see one line, then the lines switch and they can only see the other line.
Couple flirting and giving each other bedroom eyes at the beach at sunset. That intense stare across the crowded bar. The coy glance from a cute stranger on the subway.
In adults who develop strabismus, double vision sometimes occurs because the brain has already been trained to receive images from both eyes and cannot ignore the image from the turned eye. Additionally in adults who have had exotropia since childhood, the brain may adapt to using a "blind-spot", whereby it receives images from both eyes, but ...
