Esotropia is an eye condition that refers to either one or both of your eyes pointing inward. Esotropia is a type of strabismus, which means that your eyes don’t line up correctly. You may hear people talking about “crossed eyes” instead of esotropia. Esotropia can be monocular (involves one eye) or binocular (involves both eyes).

The muscles and nerves that control your eyes usually work to allow both of your eyes to work together. In esotropia, this control isn’t as coordinated as it should be.

Esotropia is a form of eye misalignment (strabismus) that affects 1% to 3% of the U.S. population. You may notice it in your new infant if one or both of their eyes turn inward. Intermittent esotropia may resolve by itself, but if their eyes cross all the time, you should ask for an eye examination. Esotropia is treatable. If you notice misalignment that happens suddenly, in either an adult or a child, contact your healthcare provider. Esotropia can be a sign of some other condition.
