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, instead of looking in an aligned way at the same point. It can appear from childhood or present later on.
Signs that may be noticed: visible deviation of an eye, a tendency to close or cover one eye, double vision in some cases, and difficulty focusing on objects.
Why it matters to treat it: when it occurs in childhood, the brain may ignore the image from the deviated eye, which affects visual development if it is not evaluated in time.
Who evaluates it? The study of esotropia falls to ophthalmology, which checks eye alignment and the quality of vision. If you notice that the gaze of one eye turns inward, it is a good idea to schedule an eye checkup to understand the case in detail.
