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.
Dissociated vertical deviation. Dissociated vertical deviation ( DVD) is an eye condition which occurs in association with a squint, typically infantile esotropia. The exact cause is unknown, although it is logical to assume it is from faulty innervation of eye muscles.
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. Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called ...
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 ...
Treatment. Eyeglasses, contact lenses, refractive surgeries, IOL implantation [ 2] Frequency. ~7.5% (US) [ 5] Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness, hypermetropia, and hyperopia, is a condition of the eye where distant objects are seen clearly but near objects appear blurred.
Amblyopia, also called lazy eye, is a disorder of sight in which the brain fails to fully process input from one eye and over time favors the other eye. [ 1] It results in decreased vision in an eye that typically appears normal in other aspects. [ 1] Amblyopia is the most common cause of decreased vision in a single eye among children and ...
In “The Secret Life of the Universe: An Astrobiologist's Search for the Origins and Frontiers of Life,” readers won't walk away with a clear-cut answer to that question. Cabrol writes that we ...
Amblyopia. Anisometropia is a condition in which a person's eyes have substantially differing refractive power. [ 1] Generally, a difference in power of one diopter (1D) is the threshold for diagnosis of the condition. [ 2][ 3] Patients may have up to 3D of anisometropia before the condition becomes clinically significant due to headache, eye ...
