If a baby has esotropia, it may be caused by congenital genetic factors, which have a relatively high incidence rate. It could also result from excessive eye accommodation—known as accommodative esotropia—esotropia due to eye injury, or comitant esotropia. Therefore, once esotropia occurs, it's essential to promptly visit a hospital to determine the specific underlying cause and clearly identify the exact type of esotropia present.
