What We TREAT

Strabismus

Strabismus is the loss of parallelism of the eyes in such a way that they are not aligned in the same direction as the object of visual interest.

It affects an estimated 4% of children in the population and is one of the most common diseases found in children. 

Symptoms of Strabismus: 

  • Double vision.
  • Closing or covering one eye when looking at something nearby. 
  • Tilting or turning your head. 
  • Headaches. 
  • Difficulty reading. 
  • Eye strain. 
  • Closing one eye when looking at objects that are far away or when you’re in bright light. 

Treatment of Strabismus: 

Your recommended treatment plan for crossed eyes will depend on the severity and underlying cause of your condition. If your crossed eyes have resulted from a lazy eye, your doctor may have you wear a patch over your stronger eye to force the muscles of your weaker eye to work harder. 

Other potential treatments include:

  • Eye exercises 
  • Corrective lenses 
  • Surgery on certain eye muscles
