What is the opposite of being cross eyed?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No opposite: When eyes are turned toward each other, this is esotropia. When they are turned away from each other, this is exotropia. If one eye is turned up in relation to the other, that eye has hypertropia (and the other has hypotropia).

Exotropia: Esotropia is cross eyed. Exotropia is eye drifting.
