For Providers Off-Cosmetic Benefits of Strabismus Surgery in Adults William E. Scott, M.D. First Published: 2000 Last Revised: September 2003 Peer Review Status: Internally Reviewed History Adult strabismus includes all types of genetic or acquired strabismus that have persisted in individuals beyond age 9, which is considered the age of visual maturity. The major types of strabismus are horizontal and vertical. The former is mostly associated with genetic conditions and usually has its onset before the age of visual maturity. The latter is, in most cases, acquired and its onset is usually after the age of visual maturity. However, it may also occur in childhood. Horizontal strabismus can be of two typesesotropia or exotropia. New facts Some forms of strabismus can successfully be corrected with glasses, others require surgery. Surgery for strabismus in adults aims at restoring alignment, eliminating diplopia, and enabling sensory fusion. The potential risks are diplopia, overcorrection, or undercorrection, which may require a reoperation. The achievable benefits include: elimination of diplopia if it had occurred preoperatively; restoration or acquisition of sensory fusion; expansion of binocular visual fields; restoration of alignment; and improved psychosocial functioning. This list of benefits provides evidence that surgery for adult strabismus reaches beyond the purely cosmetic goal (restored alignment). Practice When indicated, restorative surgery for adult strabismus is offered to all patients aged 9 years and older. The indications for surgical treatment of adult strabismus include significant misalignment, elimination of diplopia, and reversal of abnormal head positions.

Health Prose: A One-Minute Update for Your Health Strabismus: How To Fix The Misaligned Eye University of Iowa Health Science Relations First Published: November 2000 Last Revised: March 2004 Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Angie noticed that one of her 3-month-old baby's eyes turned inward. The baby's pediatrician recommended a visit to an eye care specialist. "Angie's baby may have a form of strabismus, which means misalignment of the eyes," says Dr. Ronald Keech, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Iowa College of Medicine and staff physician at UI Hospitals and Clinics. "It's common for a baby's eyes to sometimes appear misaligned or crossed at birth. But at 3 to 4 months, the baby's eyes should be well aligned, looking in the same direction and focused on one object." In the most common form of the condition, one or both eyes turn inward. Exotropia, when the eye turns outward, is a less common form. "Strabismus affects as many as one of every 50 school-age children," Keech says. If not treated early, strabismus may cause loss of depth perception, or more importantly, lazy eye. "Lazy eye, also called amblyopia, is the loss of sight in one or both eyes from lack of use," Keech says. "A large percentage of children with strabismus develop amblyopia."

How can this be treated? Strabismus is quite common in children, affecting about 1 in 25 kids. Convergent strabismus or esotropia is a condition where the eyes turn slightly in. Often convergent strabismus is caused by farsightedness . When it is, glasses to correct the farsightedness are usually the best treatment for the short run. These kids usually love their glasses, both because they can see better, but even more because eye muscles can relax. They will usually not need the glasses once they have outgrown their farsightedness.

Amblyopia and Strabismus Amblyopia and strabismus are different entities , although strabismus is one of several causes of amblyopia. Amblyopia ( 'lazy eye' syndrome ) Amblyopia, commonly known as 'lazy eye' syndrome , is an unnecessarily common condition . Approximately 2-3% of the adult population has amblyopia . If amblyopia is not recognized and appropriately treated in the formative years of childhood , then it will become a permanent , lifelong condition . Sometime beyond age six, amblyopia becomes fixed and permanent. Children can be examined with appropriate tools at any age . (Refer to ' frequently asked questions' about when to examine children .) How does amblyopia develop? For proper neural wiring connections between the visual cortex of the brain and the eyes to develop , a clear visual image must fall on the retinas of both eyes . Poor vision will develop , in an otherwise normal eye , if the brain is visually-deprived from one of the two eyes while critical wiring connections are developing .There are several situations that can lead to lazy eye syndrome . Strabismus , commonly known as 'crossed-eyes' , is the most common cause of amblyopia. While parents of a child with strabismus may be able to tell by examining their child that there is something wrong with his eyes, there are other causes of amblyopia which cannot be detected by the parents because the eyes appear to have a straight alignment.

Strabismus is characterized by a deviation in alignment of one eye from the other. In adults, strabismus can occur gradually or rapidly. The most common form of strabismus is esotropia (convergent strabismus), which occurs when the eye turns toward the nose. In exotropia (divergent strabismus) the eye turns away from the nose. One or both eyes may also turn up or down. Generally, the eyes turn in different directions. Diagnosis of strabismus is based primarily on the patient's medical history. Ophthalmologic and neurologic testing should be performed to rule out ocular or neurologic disease. Gradual onset of strabismus usually results in an outward movement of an eye. In acute onset strabismus, the eye can turn in almost any direction. Importantly, rapid onset of strabismus may be an indication of significant head trauma or systemic illness such as diabetes, cancer, or inflammation. In exotropia, the eye turns in to fixate; in esotropia, it turns out to fixate. As a therapy for strabismus in adults, BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Purified Neurotoxin Complex is thought to affect muscle pairs by inducing an atrophic lengthening of the injected muscle and a corresponding shortening of the muscle antagonist. The duration of effect lasts approximately three months. If necessary, the neurotoxin can be reinjected as long as the patient continues to respond and does not have a serious allergic reaction.

Strabismus, also known as crossed eyes, is a disorder in which eyes are misaligned. In adults, strabismus can occur gradually or rapidly. Gradual onset is usually the result of movement of the eye due to loss of muscle tone. Rapid onset, on the other hand, may be an indication of significant head trauma or serious systemic illness. Diagnosis of strabismus is based primarily on the patient's medical history. Ophthalmologic and neurologic testing should be performed to rule out possible diseases of the eye or brain. In the most common form of strabismus, the eye turns inward toward the nose. In other forms, the eye may turn away from the nose or may turn upward or downward. Generally, the eyes turn in different directions from each other. BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Purified Neurotoxin Complex was approved as a therapy for strabismus in adults in December 1989. It is thought to work by lengthening the injected muscle while shortening the opposing muscle. The duration of effect is approximately three months. If necessary, the neurotoxin can be reinjected as long as the patient continues to respond and does not have a serious allergic reaction.

Surgery What is Strabismus? Strabismus (squint) is a condition in which eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. One eye may look straight ahead while the other turns inward, outward, upward or downward. You may always notice the misalignment or it may come and go. The turned eye may straighten at times and straight eye might turn. Squint is not a sign of luck. It is a disorder. Strabismus and Vision Quality In normal vision both eyes focus at the same spot. The brain then fuses images in both the eyes into a single three dimensional image. This 3_D image gives us depth perception. When one eye turns, two different pictures are sent to the brain. In a young child the brain learns to ignore the image of the misaligned eye and sees only the image from the straight or better eye. The child then loses the depth perception and the unused eye becomes a lazy eye.

Crossed Eyes Walleyes Strabismus is caused by a lack of coordination between the eyes. As a result, the eyes look in different directions and do not focus simultaneously on a single point. In most cases of strabismus in children, the cause is unknown. In more than half of these cases, the problem is present at or shortly after birth (congenital strabismus). In children, when the two eyes fail to focus on the same image, the brain may learn to ignore the input from one eye. If this is allowed to continue, the eye that the brain ignores will never see well. This loss of vision is called

It usually occurs in children but may occur in adults. Permanent vision loss may result if strabismus is not detected and treated in a timely manner. There are two types: Constant Strabismus - the eye turns all the time Intermittent Strabismus - the eye turns only some of the time, like in times of stress, illness, or when tired Causes Strabismus is caused by a lack of coordination between the muscles in the eyes. This can happen due to: Problems, imbalances, or injuries of the muscles that move the eyes Uncorrected refractive errors (i.e., the need for glasses) Nervous system disorders that affect vision, such as:
