Abstract

Cyclic strabismus is a rare condition that usually occurs in children and is characterized by alternating intervals of straight and strabismic eyes. In adults with the condition, strabismus surgery often eliminates the cycles. We report a case of adult-onset cyclic esotropia that was converted into a cyclic exotropia.
