Esotropia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Esotropia is a type of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward, toward the nose, altering the normal alignment of the gaze.
When should it be checked? When you notice that an eye crosses, there is double vision, frequent squinting of the eyes, or tilting of the head to focus, especially in childhood.
Why it matters: proper eye alignment is key to visual development, especially in the first years of life.
Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who evaluates the deviation and eye health, while the optometrist assists in measuring vision. Scheduling an early evaluation with these professionals helps care for eyesight in a timely way.
