Strabismus is a misalignment of the eyes, often caused by underlying eye conditions or external factors. It can be present in children (pediatric strabismus), but it can also develop later in life (adult strabismus). Left untreated, it can result in double vision, eye strain, headaches, and other symptoms.
A comprehensive eye examination is necessary to diagnose strabismus properly. Depending on the severity, pediatric or adult strabismus can be managed through vision therapy, corrective glasses, prism lenses, and orthoptic exercises. Surgery may also be necessary to improve eye alignment.
Many people confuse amblyopia with strabismus because they seem similar. Amblyopia, commonly known as “lazy eye,” is caused by reduced vision in one eye due to underuse. Strabismus, in some cases, leads to amblyopia. The misalignment of the eyes causes the person to use only one when focusing on an object. For both conditions, early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent permanent vision problems.
