Question

What medications or therapies treat esotropia?

Answer 1

Some cases of esotropia may resolve on their own. Your healthcare provider may suggest one of these treatments or a combination of treatments, including:

• Glasses or contact lenses.
• Amblyopia treatment (patching the stronger eye or using a dilating drop to blur the vision of the stronger eye).
• Prisms.
• Injections of botulinum toxin (often called by the brand name Botox®).
• Surgery.

If you have esotropia as a symptom of some other condition, your healthcare provider will treat you for that condition so esotropia improves.
