Strabismus is one of the most relevant health problems of the world, and infantile esotropia is perhaps the most visually significant yet the least understood. There is still debate on what is the proper time to operate. Review of the literature demonstrates that the risks and benefits of both interfering early to encourage the development of binocular vision versus late surgery when sensory testing can be obtained and surgery performed later in life. Both groups claim better alignment and better motor and sensory achievement. During the last couple of years Botox has been increasingly used for small angle esotropia in certain parts of the world with encouraging results however proper selection and timing is critical. The treatment of strabismus remains straight forward in most children. It includes the prescription of glasses, patching or penalization for amblyopia and finally surgery if deviation persists
