Esophoria

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

CauseEdit

Causes include:

  • Refractive errors
  • Divergence insufficiency
  • Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.[1]

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