Exotropia
|

Exotropia Sometimes called "Wall Eyes". One eye is constantly turned outward. A child may have an exophoria which progresses to a stage where the eye is straight one minute and turned-out the next (as when daydreaming or in bright sunlight). This is called intermittent exotropia. May need surgical correction.
