Question

Esotropia is common in :

• A. Myopia
• B. Hypermetropia
• C. Emmetropia
• D. Astigmatism

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Esotropia, a condition where one or both eyes turn inward, is commonly associated with hypermetropia, also known as farsightedness. In hypermetropia, the eye's optical system focuses images behind the retina, causing the eye to exert extra effort to focus clearly. This additional focusing strain can induce the inward turning of the eyes, particularly in children. Early identification and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term vision problems. Thus, among the given options, esotropia is commonly linked with hypermetropia.
