esotropia

sometimes called "crossed eyes". It is a condition where the eyes don't align properly and can be constant or intermittent

exotropia

one or both eyes turn outward. Symptoms include an outward eye turn, double vision, eye strain, and headaches, which may occur more frequently when the person is tired, sick, or stressed

Strabismus

condition where the eyes are not aligned, causing them to look in different directions at the same time

exotropia and esotropia are included in this blanket term

Phoria

latent tendency for the eyes to misalign, which is only revealed when an eye is covered. Unlike a tropia, which is a constant eye turn, a phoria is a temporary, hidden misalignment that the brain usually corrects to maintain single vision.

Nystagmus

apid, uncontrollable eye movements. If you have nystagmus, your eyes may move up and down, side to side or in a circular motion
