Alternative Names: Crossed eyes; Esotropia; Exotropia; Squint; Walleye Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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 amblyopia , and it is frequently associated with strabismus.

(A good self experiment is described at ) The blind spot results from an area of the retina which does n ot have photoreceptor nerve cells, the optic nerve head. Yet, even without this seemingly vital information, the brain is able to supply us with a complete brain image. The brain has filled in the blind spot with an image which it believes makes sense. Ha ving explored the blind spot, one can understand that what is captured in the brain image may be very different from what is truly present as the retinal image. Another less common example of the way the brain interprets the world is what occurs in a condition called strabismus or crossed eyes. As defined by the American Academy of Ophthalmology

The causes of strabismus are varied and include an imbalance in the pull of muscles that control the position of the eyes or poor vision in one eye. Strabismus: A Misaligned Eye There are several types of strabismus. In the most common types, an eye turns inward (esotropia or cross-eye) or outward (exotropia or walleye). In this illustration, the child's right eye is affected.

Ask the Expert Strabismus ( Esotropia and Exotropia Definition Symptoms Treatment ... Clinic Information Definition Strabismus is a visual disorder where the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. This misalignment may be constantly present, or it may come and go. Sometimes, only one eye may be affected - turning inward (esotropia), outward (exotropia) or downward - while the other eye is directed straight ahead. Strabismus is a common condition among children. Normal alignment of both eyes during childhood allows the brain to fuse the two pictures into a single 3-dimensional image. Strabismus or abnormal alignment can cause amblyopia or reduced vision. If vision is reduced, the brain of the child will learn to recognize the stronger image and ignore the weaker image of the amblyopic eye. This will eventually cause a loss of depth perception. If strabismus develops in an adult, they will often experience double vision because the brain has been trained to receive images from both eyes. The exact cause of the eye misalignment that leads to strabismus is not fully understood. Six eye muscles control eye movement and are attached to the outside of each eye. Two muscles in each eye move the eye right or left while the other four muscles move it up or down and control tilting movements. To focus both eyes on a single target, all eye muscles must work together with the corresponding muscles of the opposite eye. The brain coordinates these eye muscles. A cataract or eye injury that affects vision can also cause strabismus.

Strabismus is a vision problem in which both eyes do not look at the same point at the same time. Strabismus most often begins in early childhood. It is sometimes called "cross-eyes," "walleye," or "squint." Normally, the muscles surrounding each eye work together to move both eyes in the same direction at the same time. Strabismus occurs when the eye muscles do not work properly to control eye movement. When the eye muscles do not work correctly, the eyes may become misaligned, and the brain may not be able to merge the two images. What causes strabismus? Childhood strabismus often has no known cause, although it tends to run in families. Sometimes strabismus develops when the eyes compensate for other vision problems, such as farsightedness Adults may develop strabismus from eye or blood vessel damage. Loss of vision, an eye or brain tumor

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Strabismus Definition Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes do not point in the same direction. It can also be referred to as a tropia or squint. Description Strabismus occurs in 2-5% of all children. About half are born with the condition, which causes one or both eyes to turn: Inward (esotropia or "crossed eyes") Outward (exotropia or "wall eyes") Upward (hypertropia) Downward (hypotropia). Strabismus is equally common in boys and girls. It sometimes runs in families. Types of strabismus Esotropia is the most common type of strabismus in infants. Accommodative esotropia develops in children under age two who cross their eyes when focusing on objects nearby. This usually occurs in children who are moderately to highly farsighted (hyperopic). Another common form of strabismus, exotropia, may only be noticeable when a child looks at far-away objects, daydreams, or is tired or sick. Sometimes the eye turn is always in the same eye; however sometimes the turn alternates from one eye to the other. Most children with strabismus have comitant strabismus. No matter where they look, the degree of deviation does not change. In incomitant strabismus, the amount of misalignment depends upon which direction the eyes are pointed.
