Strabismus refers to a group of conditions where the eyes do not align properly when looking at an object, which means that the eyes are not looking in the same direction at the same time. This can be caused by a variety of factors including damaged nerves, muscles problems, refractive errors, or can result from conditions such as cerebral palsy or Down syndrome. Common symptoms include double vision, uncoordinated eye movements, and eyes that wander inward or outward. Depending on the specific type of strabismus, one may also find trouble with depth perception. Strabismus can develop in infancy and early childhood, often by the age of three, but can also occur later in life due toConditions like stroke and other brain injuries. If left untreated, it may result in vision loss or visual impairment, hence early detection and management are important.
