Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 This is what I found when I went looking for esotropia. I hope this helps out! Jill Ramos, Las Vegas, NV Congenital Esotropia is an eye condition in children that is commonly known as crossed eyes. What causes congenital esotropia is not known. It is likely that children with congenital esotropia will need eye muscle surgery to straighten the eyes. The surgery is usually done between seven months and two years of age. In a small number of infants with congenital esotropia, the crossing of eyes will go away either on its own or with glasses if a large amount of farsightedness is present. No one knows enough about congenital esotropia to be able to predict which infants should not have surgery because there is a chance that the crossing may go away on its own.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 hmmm...sounds like what I had when I was a child, but I didn't know there was a fancy name for it. I wore glasses from when I was 3 to 14, and had my left eye operated on when I was 5. I should be wearing reading glasses now, but I'm very bad that way.
