Wikipedia
Esophoria

Esophoria is a condition characterised by inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance.

Causes include:

  • Refractive errors
  • Divergence insufficiency
  • Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.

Unlike esotropia, fusion is possible and therefore diplopia is uncommon.
