Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crossed eyes (also known as esotropia) are a common sign of strabismus, a condition where the eyes do not align properly. This can lead to double vision and reduced depth perception if not treated. Nystagmus is a condition where the eyes make repetitive, uncontrolled movements. Presbyopia is a natural age-related change that affects the ability to focus on close objects. Myopia (nearsightedness) and hypermetropia (farsightedness) are refractive errors that affect the ability to see objects at a distance or close up, respectively, but do not present with crossed eyes as the primary symptom.
