Final answer:
Strabismus surgery is the procedure that corrects esotropia, which is a type of strabismus where the eyes turn inward. Other surgeries like LASIK correct refractive errors, and cataract surgery addresses clouded lenses, neither of which are related to the muscle alignment issues of strabismus. Appendectomy is unrelated to eye conditions. Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The surgery that would be helpful in the correction of esotropia is Strabismus surgery. Esotropia is a type of strabismus where one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be corrected surgically by altering the muscles around the eye to ensure proper alignment. This procedure is purely focused on correcting the misalignment of the eyes and does not involve laser reshaping of the cornea or removal of cataracts. While procedures like LASIK surgery (Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis) are used to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) by changing the shape of the cornea, they do not address the muscle alignment issues caused by strabismus. Similarly, Cataract surgery replaces a clouded lens in the eye but does not correct the misaligned eye muscles causing esotropia. An Appendectomy surgery is completely unrelated as it involves the surgical removal of the appendix, and has no bearing on eye conditions.
