A condition where the eyes have a tendency to turn inward (toward the nose) when they're not actively working together to focus.
From Greek 'eso-' (inward) + '-phoria' (tendency to turn). The Greek root 'phoros' means bearing or turning, and this suffix is used for various eye alignment tendencies.
Your eyes are constantly working to stay aligned—esophoria means they naturally want to cross inward, which is actually more common than outward-turning eyes and usually less noticeable to observers. It's like your eyes have a 'resting preference' to look at your own nose.
