intermittent esotropia definition
Esotropia (from Greek eso meaning inward and trope meaning a turning), is a form of strabismus, or squint, in which one or both eyes turns inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a cross-eyed appearance.
Exotropia can be classified according to how frequently the eye deviates: 1  Intermittent: Only occurs from time to time; may or may not become more frequent throughout a personâs life; this is the most common form of exotropia.  Constant: Occurs at all times and at all distances.
