Exotropia treatment in Mérida

Many families first notice that one eye drifts outward intermittently or constantly: that describes exotropia, a type of strabismus in which the visual axes are not aligned.

Common symptoms:

• One eye that turns outward, especially with fatigue or when looking far away
• Closing one eye in bright light
• Possible double vision or eye strain

When to see a doctor? It is advisable to promptly check any eye misalignment in children, since vision is developing, and also in adults with new changes.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist evaluates alignment and visual health, with support from the optometrist in the functional assessment. A timely checkup is the best way to protect the development of vision.
