Esophoria is characterised by inward deviation of the eye usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance.
Causes include:
- refractive errors
- divergence insufficiency
- convergence excess, these can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.[1]
Unlike esotropia, fusion is possible and therefore diplopia is uncommon.
