Specialty ophthalmology ICD-9-CM 378.41		ICD-10 H50.5

Esophoria is a condition characterised by inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance.

Causes include:

Divergence insufficiency

Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.

Unlike esotropia, fusion is possible and therefore diplopia is uncommon.
