Acquired non-accommodative esotropia is a form of eye crossing that is not responsive to far-sighted eyeglasses, such as congenital or accommodative esotropia can be. Acquired non-accommodative esotropia can have several causes. The most common causes are children who have been far-sighted for a while and have not had eyeglasses, or children who responded initially to glasses but later developed an additional eye crossing even when wearing the correct glasses. All children with acquired non-accommodative esotropia or eye crossing require a prompt evaluation by a pediatric ophthalmologist. Eye muscle surgery is the usual treatment and binocular vision can be restored. Related Articles: Accommodative Esotropia Congenital Esotropia |
