Hi,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query!
The problem which you are having is called Strabismus.Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. Which eye is focused on the object in question can switch. It may also be present occasionally or constantly.Esotropia is a form of strabismus 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.A detailed investigation of the eye is to be done by your ophthalmologist.In your case Esotropia can be-
Incomitant esotropia- Esotropia varies in size with direction of gaze.
Accommodative esotropia-inward turning of the eyes due to efforts of accommodation. It is often seen in patients with moderate amounts of hyperopia.
The prognosis for each esotrope will depend upon the origin of problem.I would advice you to visit your nearest ophthalmologist for examination of eye.
Thank you!
