Strabismus

Strabismus

Strabismus occurs when the eye is not straight in primary position. It often reveals itself before the age of three and can be treated with aggressive therapy and/or surgery. If an eye turns after the age of three, one should suspect a more serious cause, such as stroke, tumor, trauma, or other serious medical condition. This is often also known as “lazy eye,” however when fixating the child may, in fact, have good vision.
