Is concomitant esotropia congenital?

Congenital esotropia is not necessarily a congenital disease.

Congenital esotropia is an eye disease in which the visual axis of both eyes is separated and the eye position is deviated inward. It can be divided into congenital and acquired strabismus. If the patient is accompanied by concomitant esotropia at birth, this type of concomitant esotropia is a congenital disease. However, patients should be aware that brain trauma, malnutrition, refractive errors and other reasons may also induce concomitant esotropia. Therefore, concomitant esotropia is not necessarily a congenital disease.

Patients can correct strabismus through surgery and restore normal visual function.
