What exactly is exotropia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eyes turn outwards: Exotropia is the medical term for eyes out of alignment in which one of them drifts to the side away from the other. It is usually due to visual difficulties in childhood but may also occur due to oculomotor impairment in adulthood from a variety of causes.

How is slight exotropia fixed in an adult? It's only noticeable when I look up, but I bothers me enough to get it treated. What causes exotropia?
