Strabismus

Strabismus Overview

You likely know this eye movement disorder as crossed eyes. Strabismus occurs when one eye misaligns inward or outward while the other eye remains focused. This condition typically affects children and can lead to other conditions like amblyopia or vision loss if not detected and corrected early.

Strabismus Treatment

Early treatment for strabismus gives patients the best chance at preventing other vision problems or loss.

Treatments for strabismus typically include eye muscle strengthening through the use of glasses or eye muscle exercises. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to realign muscles.
