blind-spot esotropia

A type of strabismus where the angle of inward eye deviation is approximately 15 degrees, causing the image of the fixation point to fall on the physiological blind spot of the deviating eye. This eliminates the need for a suppression scotoma to prevent diplopia, as the blind spot naturally obscures the second image. The condition is relatively rare and typically occurs in older children and adults with a later onset of esotropia.
