Home Your Vision Eye Disorders Strabismus What Is Strabismus? Strabismus, also known as crossed or turned eye, is the medical term used when the two eyes are not straight. It occurs in approximately 2% to 4% of the population. What Are the Different Types of Strabismus? There are three common types of strabismus: Crossed eyes A child may be born with this condition, or it may develop within a few months of birth or around two years of age. This is also called esotropia, or convergent strabismus. Walleye, or divergent eyes A child may be born with this condition, or it may develop later. This is also called exotropia, or divergent strabismus. Vertical strabismus The eyes are out of alignment vertically. Symptoms Turned or crossed eye Squinting Head tilting or turning Double vision (in some cases) Diagnosis Even if a child's eyes appear to be straight, the child should be examined by an ophthalmologist – a medically qualified eye specialist – by the age of 1 year. It is possible to examine a child of any age for strabismus and determine whether the eyes are properly focused. If you are not sure whether your child's eyes are straight, consult your family doctor, who may advise referring the child to an ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist may use special tests, such as prism testing, to evaluate the alignment of the eyes.

Amblyopia and strabismus Amblyopia , sometimes called "lazy eye," is defective vision or blindness in an eye. Amblyopia happens when the eyes do not work together to develop the normal vision that fuses the image from each eye into one single image for the brain. Sometimes both eyes cannot work together because of very poor vision in one eye. In most cases, however, the eyes are not aligned or "straight" (strabismus) and see two separate images. The result is double vision. Because the images from each eye are so different from each other, the disturbing second image is ignored by the brain. When it is not used, the "lazy eye" stops learning to see. Normal depth perception does not develop. In most cases, there is some peripheral vision but the sharper central vision is impaired. Since the development of the eye is complete by the ages of six or seven, uncoordinated eyes in children must be treated immediately to prevent loss of sight. A child's eyes should be examined carefully at birth and there are eye tests that can be performed with very young children. Early detection and treatment are essential.

Search FamilyFun Tools Parent Problem Solver Field Guide to Parenting Pregnancy Calendar ... Solutions A to Z Strabismus Also called lazy eye, strabismus affects about one to three percent of children early in life. The condition develops when the two eyes are not fully coordinated, causing double vision. To compensate, the brain suppresses vision in one eye. Unless the condition is treated, vision in the suppressed eye will fail to develop normally, resulting in permanent visual impairment that may be mild or severe. If treated by the age of three, strabismus usually can be cured. WHAT CAUSES STRABISMUS? Strabismus has a strong hereditary component. The most common cause is an imbalance of muscle alignment: One eye crosses inward, upward or outward, while the other moves normally. IS MEDICAL CARE NECESSARY? Early detection is key to preventing permanent damage from strabismus; the condition does not readily respond to treatment after the age of six. Children from families with a history of strabismus (particularly in a sibling) should therefore be closely monitored. WHEN SHOULD I SUSPECT THAT MY CHILD HAS STRABISMUS?

KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have eyes that don't look straight ahead? Maybe you've noticed that sometimes their eyes go in different directions when they're looking at an object. Or maybe you've seen your friend's left eye wander when he's playing video games with you. Read on to find out why some eyes don't see straight and how kids with this problem get help to fix it. Why Are Some Eyes Not Straight? Strabismus (say: streh- biz -mis) is the term used for eyes that are not straight and do not focus on the same object. Eyes can turn in (toward the nose) or out (toward the ear) if the muscles that move the eyes do not work right or if the eyes are not able to focus properly. Strabismus is also sometimes called crossed eyes, when they turn in, or walleye, when they turn out. It affects about four out of every 100 kids in the United States. You may have heard someone describe an eye that is not straight as a lazy eye, but that is not what lazy eye means. It means that a person's vision is weak or lazy. The medical term for lazy eye is amblyopia (say: am-blee- oh -pee-ah).

You Are Here : The O.R.N. Home Research Governance Clinical Governance - Guidelines Search This Site Royal College of Ophthalmologists Guidelines Guidelines for the Management of Strabismus and Amblyopia in Childhood - February 2000 Summary Many professionals contribute to the management of children with squint and amblyopia including school nurses, health visitors, general practitioners, community physicians, orthoptists, optometrists and others in a variety of settings. It is therefore desirable to have locally agreed arrangements for the referral, assessment, treatment and monitoring of progress of children identified with relevant eye conditions, to which all parties contribute and which can be matched to national standards as these become established. Guidelines are intended to be general principles, rather than specific protocols, regarding the best management of patients with a particular disorder. In drawing up these guidelines we wish to inform ophthalmologists and allied professionals as to the current view of best practice endorsed by the College. This is to enable the development of locally based protocols for the care of children with strabismus and amblyopia . It is assumed throughout this document that those professionals dealing with common and uncommon cases of strabismus and amblyopia will have had adequate training and experience to manage children with these conditions.

Strabismus In the past, no technique was available to measure squint angles in all three dimensions in an objective, efficient, and non-invasive manner. The evaluation of squint was therefore reduced to two dimensions: horizontal and vertical eye movements. Solution 3D STRABS VOG provides a solution for this limitation, making it a perfect system for strabismus research. With its easy-to-use and non-invasive Video-Oculography technique that allows for simultaneous measurement of eye-positions of both eyes, objective evaluation of squint angles has now reached the third dimension: ocular torsion. 3D STRABS VOG is a specialized version of 3D VOG and was developed in cooperation with Dr. Wassill and Prof. Kaufmann, University of Giessen, Germany. Advantages Non-invasive video-based recording Quantified squint evaluation in all three dimensions: horizontal, vertical and torsional

Strabismus, a misalignment of the eyes, is one of the most common eye problems in children, affecting approximately 4 percent of children under the age of 6 years. The eyes (one or both) may turn inward, outward, turn up, or turn down. At times, more than one of these conditions are present. Strabismus is also called "wandering eye" or "crossed-eyes." What is Amblyopia? Amblyopia, also called "lazy eye," is a condition in which vision does not develop normally during childhood. Usually the child has one weak eye with poor vision and one strong eye with normal vision. Two to 3 percent of the general population have amblyopia. There are many causes of amblyopia, but it occurs most commonly with strabismus. Amblyopia may also result from other eye conditions where one eye focuses better than the other, such as with nearsightedness or farsightedness, or as a result of eye diseases, such as a cataract.

What can be done to fix this problem? How long does the treatment last? Strabismus (Cross-Eyes) Printer-friendly version Email this article What is strabismus and how do I know if my baby has it? The problem of crossed or wandering eyes is called strabismus (say: "stra-biz-muss"). It's normal for newborn babies to have eyes that cross or wander sometimes, especially when they're tired. However, if you see your child's eyes cross or see one eye wander to the side after 3 months of age, even if it happens only once in a while, tell your doctor. Also, if your child often looks at you with one eye closed, or with his or her head turned to one side, tell your doctor. Return to top Why is strabismus a problem? Normal vision needs both eyes to look in the same direction at the same time. When a child has a crossed or wandering eye, he or she gets a different picture from each eye. The child's brain blocks out the picture from the weaker eye. If this eye isn't fixed when a child is young, the child's brain will always ignore the pictures from the weak eye. This kind of vision loss is called amblyopia (say: "am-blee-o-pee-ah"). This is the most serious problem caused by crossed or wandering eyes. Return to top What can be done to fix this problem?
