Strabismus is when a person’s eyes are not straight. They point in different directions. Usually one eye can look straight ahead while the other eye
turns inward (toward the nose), outward (away from the nose), upward, or downward. An eye doctor should examine children as soon as someone notices the eyes are not straight.

Strabismus can occur for a number of reasons including severe diseases within the eye, and vision loss. Other reasons might be problems with the brain or the nerves that control the eye muscles, or an uncorrected need for glasses. Vision loss in one or both eyes can occur from strabismus.

There are many way of treating strabismus. Treatments may include glasses, patching, eye drops, eye muscle exercises, and surgery.
