Accommodative esotropia:This happens to people, usually young children, who are farsighted, meaning they see distant objects better than close ones. If the farsightedness isn't corrected, they may work so hard to focus that one or both eyes may turn inward. Intermittent exotropia: In this t...
Excessive blinking is when you blink more than normal. It may happen all the time or every once in a while. It’s most common in children, but it also happens in adults. Here’s what you need to know. Causes Lots of things can lead to excessive blinking. They include: An ingrown ey...
Childhood strabismus (eye misalignment), such as crossed eyes (esotropia) or out-turned eyes (exotropia), occasionally produces double vision, and often children develop ways to suppress the double vision. However, this suppression may result in amblyopia (a weakening of the eye's visual developm...
There are many types of strabismus, including accommodative esotropia, intermittent exotropia and infantile esotropia. Accommodative esotropia Accommodative esotropia can be genetic and happens when one is farsighted. When a child over-focuses to see clearly, this can result in one or both eyes tu...
In a series of 785 esotropic patients which were treated by surgery a consecutive exotropia occurred 172 times. An analysis of the results revealed that this overcorrection often was due to a vertical deviation and/or a limitation of adduction. Out of the 172 cases of consecutive exotropia ...
A person with strabismus has one eye that looks directly at the object that the person is viewing, while the other eye is misaligned inward (esotropia or crossed eyes), outward (exotropia), upward (hypertropia), or downward (hypotropia). Strabismus can be constant or intermittent. The ...

Molecular gene analysis Genomic DNA was isolated from spleen tissue of patient 2 using the QIAamp Mini Kit (Qiagen NV, Hilden, Germany) following the manufacturer's instructions. Mutations in the TBCK gene were uncovered by whole exome sequencing. Target regions were enriched using the Sure...
He had eye movement difficulties during his acute episode, with a residual left intermittent esotropia that improved with patching. He also has bilateral optic disc atrophy and horizontal nystagmus, with visual acuity of 6/15 bilaterally. He developed a moderate upsloping bilateral sensorineural ...
Targeted capture and exome sequencing In all, 1 mg of double-stranded DNA from two affected individuals (IV:1 and IV:4) from family PKAB157 was sheared via sonication on a Diagenode Bioruptor (Diagenode Inc., Denville, NJ, USA). Library construction was performed in an automated manner on...
