A type of strabismus in which one or both eyes cross inward due to excessive accommodation in uncorrected hyperopia or a high accommodative convergence to accommodation (AC/A) ratio. The eyes converge excessively when focusing on near objects, leading to esotropia. Accommodative esotropia typically manifests in children aged 2-3 years and is treated with full hyperopic correction using glasses or contact lenses. In some cases, bifocals or surgery may be necessary.
