Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)

Strabismus, commonly known as crossed eyes, is a condition where the eyes do not properly align with each other. One eye may look straight ahead while the other turns inward, outward, upward, or downward. This misalignment can affect vision, leading to problems like double vision or difficulty focusing. Strabismus can be present from birth or develop later and can be caused by issues with eye muscles or nerves. Treatment options include glasses, vision therapy, or surgery, and early intervention can significantly improve eye alignment and overall visual function.
