Strabismus (Squints)

Symptoms and Signs

uveitis

Strabismus is a failure of the two eyes to maintain proper alignment and work together as a team. There are several types of strabismus depends on the direction of the misalignment of the eyes: For example, esotropia, "crossed eyes" or "cross-eyed"), exotropia ("wall-eyed"), hypertropia or hypotropia. It can always affect the same eye (unilateral strabismus), or the two eyes in turns (alternating strabismus).

What causes it?

Some children have congenital strabismus (being born with it). In that case there may be a problem with the part of the nervous system that controls eye muscles, however, many times there is no clear cause. There is also the possibility of a tumor or eye disorder. Strabismus can appear later in life, and the main symptom is double vision. However, it also can be the sign of serious conditions like a stroke, so it is better to see a doctor immediately if such a symptom appears.

How is it treated?

Young children can avoid double vision by suppressing vision in a weaker eye, however, it may lead to amblyopia. Additionally, it may affect the visual field, so it is better to start treatment as soon as possible. If you do not, the condition could continue into adulthood. Mostly adults with crossed eyes were born that way.
