Understanding Monocular Exotropia with A Pattern, Right Eye

Monocular exotropia with A pattern, right eye is an eye condition that affects the alignment of the eyes. It is a type of strabismus wherein the right eye turns outward away from the nose while the left eye remains in its normal position. This condition is more commonly seen in children, but it can also occur in adults.
