H50.12022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H50. 1: Exotropia.
DEFINITION: A sensorimotor anomaly of the binocular visual system in which the foveal line of sight of one eye deviates outward and fails to intersect the object of fixation. The angle of deviation remains constant for all positions of gaze.
15 for Alternating exotropia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Strabismus is the intermittent or constant misalignment of an eye so that its line of vision is not pointed at the same object as the other eye. Strabismus is caused by an imbalance in the extraocular muscles which control the positioning of the eyes.
Exotropia is a type of strabismus (misaligned eyes) in which one or both of the eyes turn outward. The condition can begin as early as the first few months of life or any time during childhood.
Strabismus (crossed eyes) is a condition in which one eye is turned in a direction that is different from the other eye. Treatment may include glasses, patching, eye exercises, medication or surgery.Jan 22, 2019
Exophoria- the outward eye misalignment is only temporary and occurs when the child is tired or stressed, or during close vision tasks when the eyes are unable to move across the line of text smoothly due to eye teaming difficulties. Exotropia- the outward eye movement is more frequent and noticeable.May 20, 2020
Most people automatically use the term Lazy Eye when an eye crosses or turns outward. As stated above, an eye that moves on its own is a sign of Amblyopia or Lazy Eye, but Strabismus is the condition that one or both eyes turns inwards (esotropia) or out (exotropia).Jul 30, 2019
Esotropia and exotropia are types of strabismus, which is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned. Esotropia means that one eye is deviated inward and is often called crossed eyes. Exotropia is when one or both eyes look outward, often called wall-eyed.

Strabismus can be caused by problems with the eye muscles, the nerves that transmit information to the muscles, or the control center in the brain that directs eye movements. It can also develop due to other general health conditions or eye injuries.
Vertical Strabismus refers to a vertical misalignment of the visual axis or vertical deviation. This could be comitant (deviation that is the same magnitude regardless of gaze position) o incomitant (it´s magnitude varies as the patient shifts his or her gaze). Most vertical deviations are incomitant.Dec 23, 2021
