In the most common form of the condition, one or both eyes turn inward. Exotropia, when the eye turns outward, is a less common form. "Strabismus affects as many as one of every 50 school-age children," Keech says.
An eye that turns inwards is called an esotropia.
An eye that turns outwards is called an exotropia.
An eye that turns upwards is called a hypertropia.
An eye that turns downwards is called a hypotropia.
