Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exotropia is an eye deviation where one eye deviates outward, away from the nose. This can cause a decrease in the visual field and lead to visual difficulties. Entropia is an eye deviation where the eyelid turns inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the eye. Diplopia is double vision and Nystagmus is an involuntary eye movement that can cause visual disturbances.
