Esotropia: The turning in of an eye can develop when one of the alignment muscles of the eye weakens. A false "turning in appearance" can occur if baby has a pronounced nasal root & you see the eyes from the side. Alignment is best assessed head on. If a head on assessment notes recurrent turning in an evaluation by your pcp/pediatrician is warranted for confirmation & initiation of further study & rx.
