Which condition describes an eye that deviates downward?

Exotropia
Hypertropia
Esotropia
Hypotropia

The correct answer is: Hypotropia

The condition that describes an eye that deviates downward is known as hypotropia. This is a type of strabismus where one eye is positioned lower than the other, indicating a downward misalignment. In the context of eye health, hypotropia can affect visual perception and depth perception, leading to difficulties in coordination and possibly affecting other visual functions. Understanding this condition is essential for diagnosing and developing a treatment plan for individuals experiencing misalignment of the eyes. The other conditions relate to different types of eye misalignments: exotropia refers to a lateral outward deviation, hypertropia involves an upward deviation, and esotropia indicates an inward deviation. Each of these conditions affects eye alignment in different ways.
