It is the fox who teaches the Prince to see with one’s heart instead of just with one’s eyes. The main theme of The Little Prince is the importance of looking beneath the surface to find the real truth and meaning of a thing. While you can’t prevent it from happening, you can act quickly to seek treatment.Bang Chan, who wrote this, was inspired by “The Little Prince” is a novella by French aristocrat, writer, and military aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Like most conditions, exotropia responds best to treatment when it’s diagnosed early. Contact your healthcare provider whenever you have questions about eyesight. If you’re a parent, you might notice the outward turning more when your child is tired or daydreaming. Some researchers believe that the permanent answer to the problem of intermittent exotropia lies in being able to repair the brain, which is not currently possible.Įxotropia is a form of strabismus in which one eye or both eyes drift outward away from the nose. ![]() You can manage it, but it may never go completely away. Does exotropia get worse with age?Įxotropia tends to get worse over time if it’s not treated. Without treatment, you may lose your ability to see with both eyes (binocular vision) and have difficulty with your depth perception. Untreated exotropia can lead to amblyopia, poor vision in one eye. You may have some other type of strabismus if you have any form at all. Strabismus can run in families, but just because your family member has exotropia doesn’t mean you’ll have it too. Extremely poor vision: Having low vision in your eye can cause exotropia.Įxotropia, especially intermittent exotropia, sometimes has no known cause.Nervous system conditions: Health conditions like stroke or tumors can cause exotropia.If you have CI, you will probably have double vision or blurred vision. With CI, your eyes don’t come together at the right point to see the close-up object. Eyes without CI are able to come together to see an object that is near. Convergence insufficiency: Convergence insufficiency (CI).Eye muscle weakness: This refers to your eye muscles’ inability to control eye movements.Genetics: Strabismus, or misaligned eyes, does run in some families.Closing one eye when you’re in bright sunlight.Eyes turned outward some or all of the time.The signs and symptoms of exotropia include: What are the signs and symptoms of exotropia? This can happen in adults who had treatment as children. Esotropia is the turning inward of your eyes. Consecutive (secondary) exotropiaĬonsecutive or secondary exotropia is a misalignment that happens after surgery to treat esotropia. This is different from unilateral exotropia, which means that the misalignment or deviation happens only in the same eye all the time. Alternating exotropiaĪlternating exotropia refers to exotropia that happens in both eyes at different times. This condition isn’t limited to one age group. The eye with poor vision then turns outward. The eye with poor vision isn’t able to work with the other eye to see in a binocular (two eyes) fashion. Sensory exotropia is a term that describes exotropia in an eye that already doesn’t see well. It’s less common than intermittent exotropia. In this type of exotropia, your eye or eyes always turn outward away from your nose. However, your eyes can develop somewhat more normally because the turning doesn’t happen all the time. Because it’s not there all the time, it may be missed and diagnosed later in life. It is typically more noticeable when looking far away or daydreaming. Your eye may turn outward when you’re tired, sick or under stress. Intermittent exotropia is not present all the time. It may affect about 1% of the population. ![]() Intermittent exotropia is the most common form of exotropia. Secondary exotropia is another name for consecutive exotropia. Other types include infantile or congenital (present at birth or from infancy), sensory, alternating and consecutive exotropia. There are many types of exotropia, even though some researchers narrow it down to only constant (all the time) and intermittent (comes and goes). With exotropia, your eyes turn outward toward your ears. With esotropia, your eyes turn inward toward your nose. The main difference is in the way that your eyes are affected. What is the difference between exotropia and esotropia?īoth esotropia and exotropia are forms of strabismus. In bilateral exotropia, the turning affects both eyes. In monocular exotropia, the turning involves one eye. If you have exotropia, one or both of your eyes turn outward (toward your ears). Exotropia is a form of strabismus, a misalignment of the eyes. ![]()
