    Congenital cataract causes esotropia by blocking vision in one eye, creating unequal visual input between the eyes which breaks the fusion mechanism that joins their visual axes. Without a common visual experience, the eyes can become misaligned, usually resulting in esotropia in youth.

    How does congenital cataract cause esotropia?

    Congenital cataract blocks vision in the eye. This causes an unequal visual input
    breaking up the fusion mechanism joining the visual axis of the two eyes. When
    the two eyes no longer have a common visual experience they can become
    misaligned. In youth, this misalignment usually results in esotropia.
