Wikipedia
cross-eye
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. It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria. Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called "lazy eye", which describes the condition of amblyopia; a reduction in vision of one or both eyes that is not the result of any pathology of the eye and cannot be resolved by the use of corrective lenses. Amblyopia can, however, arise as a result of esotropia occurring in childhood: In order to relieve symptoms of diplopia or double vision, the child's brain will ignore or "suppress" the image from the esotropic eye, which when allowed to continue untreated will lead to the development of amblyopia. Treatment options for esotropia include glasses to correct refractive errors (see accommodative esotropia below), the use of prisms and/or orthoptic exercises and/or eye muscle surgery. The term is from Greek eso meaning "inward" and trope meaning "a turning".

cross-eye
Cross-eye, also known as strabismus, is a condition in which a person's eyes do not align properly and therefore point in different directions. One eye may focus directly on the object being viewed, while the other eye turns inward, outward, upward, or downward. This condition can occur all the time or only sometimes, such as during intense concentration or illness. It usually develops in early childhood and can lead to amblyopia, or lazy eye, if left untreated.
