Esotropia is a condition where one or both eyes turn inward. The term derives from Greek, where 'eso-' means 'inward,' and 'trope' means 'turn.'

Approximately 1 to 2 percent of all people in the United States have esotropia, according to the College of Optometrists in Vision Development.

Esotropia can take several forms, with some types developing in infancy and others occurring in adulthood.
