The Correct Answer is APhorias are intermittent eye crossings; tropias are fixed crossings; exo refers to lateral, while eso refers to medial; and hyper refers to abnormalities in the vertical plane. Accommodative esotropia occurs in a child who is significantly farsighted. Pseudostrabismus refers to an apparent esotropia that occurs in an infant with a wide nasal bridge and prominent epicanthal folds. The clue that the eyes are normal is the symmetric placement of the corneal light reflex.
