comitant strabismus

A condition in which the angle of deviation between the eyes remains constant in all directions of gaze and regardless of which eye is fixating. This distinguishes it from incomitant strabismus, where the deviation varies with gaze position or the fixating eye. Comitant deviations are generally not associated with serious underlying neurological pathology. Examples include accommodative esotropia, infantile esotropia, and intermittent exotropia. Treatment options may include glasses, prisms, vision therapy, or surgery.
