Strabismus is the deviation of one or both eyes. Strabismus may be congenital (starting at, or soon after birth) or acquired (even as an adult!).
Strabismus can be caused by a variety of physiologic conditions most of which are related to neuromuscular conditions (brain control of the eye muscles).
In children, strabismus may be treated with patching, glasses, surgery, or other treatment regimens.
In adults, strabismus may be treated with prisms, surgery, or other treatment regimens.
