Esophoria

Inward turning of the eye

Field	Value
name	Esophoria
field	Ophthalmology

Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance. It is a type of heterophoria. TOC

Cause

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.
