A member asked:

Is accomodative esotropia curable?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Tim Conrad answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Sort of: Most cases of this will improve or even go away completely if treated with appropriate glasses in children and teenagers. If it does not, then glasses or contacts will usually control it in adults. Surgery is available for those few who cannot get good control with glasses.
