Left-Sided Predominance in Pseudo-esotropia.

Abstract

Pseudo-strabismus, or more precisely, pseudo-esotropia, is commonly encountered in pediatric ophthalmology. In our practice, the left eye was reported by parents as being deviated more frequently than the right eye. We attribute this laterality to the fact that most parents are right handed. They therefore tend to hold their children with their left arm, and to feed them with their right hands, in both cases viewing the left eye of the child in the adducted position.
