esophoria

 [es″o-for´e-ah]
heterophoria in which there is deviation of the visual axis of one eye toward that of the other eye in the absence of visual fusional stimuli.

es·o·pho·ri·a

(es'ō-fō'rē-ă), Do not confuse this word with exophoria.
A tendency for the eyes to turn inward, prevented by binocular vision.
Synonym(s): esodeviation (1)
[G. esō, inward, + phora, a carrying]

esophoria

/eso·pho·ria/ (es″o-for´e-ah) deviation of the visual axis toward that of the other eye in the absence of visual fusional stimuli.

esophoria

[es′əfôr′ē·ə]
Etymology: Gk, eso, inward, pherein, to bear
the latent medial deviation of the visual axis of one eye in the absence of visual stimuli for fusion. Also called cross-eye. Compare esotropia, exophoria. esophoric, adj.

es·o·pho·ri·a

(es'ō-fōr'ē-ă)
A tendency for the eyes to turn inward, prevented by binocular vision.
[G. esō, inward, + phora, a carrying]

esophoria

A latent tendency for the eyes to turn involuntarily inwards. When a person with esophoria has one eye covered, that eye will turn inwards. As soon as the cover is removed, the eye straightens and single binocular vision is restored. Compare EXOPHORIA.

esophoria (E, ESOP, SOP, eso)

Turning of the eye inward from the active position when fusion is suspended. If symptomatic, treatment may be by means of base-out prisms, plus spherical lenses or visual training (Fig. E5). See convergence excess; divergence insufficiency.

Why you shouldn't be terrified about myopia management
2-4) Many previous studies have reported many factors such as preoperative deviation amount, presence of refractive errors, presence of anisometropia, age at the time of surgery, presence of A- and V-pattern, age at onset of deviation, and esophoria rate 1 day and 1 week postoperative that affect the surgical success, whilst some studies have reported that there are no factors that affect the surgical success in patients with intermittent exotropia.

In this particular case, the patient would benefit from this as it changed their esotropia to a well-controlled esophoria with binocular single vision.

AC/A = accommodative convergence-to-accommodation, eso = esophoria, exo = exophoria, Hyper = hyperphoria, NA = not applicable, NRA = negative relative accommodation, Ortho = orthophoria, PD = prism diopter, PRA = positive relative accommodation, SD = standard deviation, SEM = standard error of the mean.

He has one or two myopic parents, is less hyperopic than expected for his age, and may also exhibit esophoria and accommodative lag at near.
Putting myopia control into practice
23) Progressive addition lenses have shown clinically modest myopia control effects when prescribed to all myopes, but when given to children with esophoria (24) and accommodative lag, (20) have shown around a 37% reduction in axial elongation.
Evidence base for myopia control
21-23) The treatment effect seems greatest in cases where there is an esophoria (SOP) at near, indicating that the mechanism may be more complex than just RPHD.

Further work on humans has implicated ocular motor imbalances, namely, near esophoria and high accommodative lags in the development of myopia.
