Accommodative esotropia

Accommodative esotropia is associated with activation of the accommodation reflex.

Congenital esotropia

Congenital esotropia, or infantile esotropia, is a variation that occurs very early in life, generally developing within the first three months of an infant's life.

True congenital esotropia is best treated by early aggressive surgery, often repeated a second or even third time.
