incomitant (strabismus)
A form of strabismus where the angle of ocular misalignment varies depending on the direction of gaze. It results from restriction or paresis of the extraocular muscles, contrasting with concomitant strabismus where the deviation remains constant in all gaze positions. The deviation increases when looking in the direction of the paretic or restricted muscle and decreases in the opposite direction.
