Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Description Strabismus or squint/crossed eyes , occurs when there is a misalignment or lack of co-ordination between the two eyes. Generally with this condition, the two eyes point in different directions. The misalignment is a result of the failure of the eye muscles to work together properly, caused by muscle weakness in the eye (leading to uneven muscle development), injury, other eye diseases, a brain tumour, or a tumour in the eye (cf. childhood cancer It is usually diagnosed in childhood, but can also occur later in life. An estimated 4% of American children have some degree of crossed eyes and it affects boys and girls equally. Most children with crossed eyes are otherwise normal, but there is a high incidence of this disorder in children with cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus. Crossed eyes often worsen when eye muscles are tired-for example, late in the day, in bright sunshine, or during the course of an illness. Crossed eyes sometimes cause double vision in children, but more commonly does in adults. If untreated, crossed eyes are likely to worsen with age. Crossed eyes are classified by the way the eye deviates: Esotropia or convergent strabismus . The most common form, which occurs when the eye turns in toward the nose. More than 50% of children with crossed eyes have this form.

http://www.stlukeseye.com/Conditions/Strabismus.asp

Extractions: (Crossed or turned eye) Overview Strabismus is a problem caused by one or more improperly functioning eye muscles , resulting in a misalignment of the eyes. Normally, each eye focuses on the same spot but sends a slightly different message to the brain. The brain superimposes the two images, giving vision depth and dimension. Here's an easy way to see how the eyes work together: hold your finger at arm's length. While looking at your finger, close one eye, then the other. Notice how your finger changes position. Even though the images are slightly different, the brain interprets them as one. Each eye has six muscles that work in unison to control movements. The brain controls the eye muscles, which keep the eyes properly aligned. It is critical that the muscles function together for the brain to interpret the image from each eye as a single one.

Extractions: Table of Contents - This Web Page Overview Recovery And Restrictions Adjustable Suture Surgery For Adults Overview Eye muscle surgery, or "strabismus surgery", involves either increasing or decreasing the tension of the small muscles on the surface of the eye. These muscles move the eye in all directions. Illustration of the six extraocular eye muscles. This type of surgery is typically performed in a hospital outpatient surgical facility. During the surgery the eye is never removed! Rather, a small incision (approximately 1/4 inch) is made on the clear membrane covering the white part of one or both eyes. Through this incision, the appropriate surgery is then performed on the surface of the eye to eliminate the strabismus. The inside of the eyeball is not entered during this type of surgery. Contemporary strabismus surgical techniques involve "hidden" incisions where there is no visible scarring of the eye surface as a result of this surgery.

Extractions: SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6,1996 Two to four percent of America's children develop strabismus and/or amblyopia. The American Academy of Ophthalmology says early detection and treatment of these disorders during childhood are essential for preventing permanent vision loss. What Are Strabismus and Amblyopia? Strabismus is misalignment of the eyes. One eye may look straight ahead, while the other turns inward, outward, upward or downward. Although the problem appears to be improperly coordinated eye muscles, it is sometimes accompanied by vision loss. Amblyopia is reduced vision in one or both eyes as a consequence of failure to develop normal sight in early childhood. Amblyopia can result from a number of underlying abnormalities, including strabismus and focusing abnormalities.

Extractions: LASIK, IntraLASIK, PRK, LASEK, Epi-LASIK, CK, P-IOL, RLE, etc. Strabismus is a general term referring to ocular misalignment due to extraocular muscle imbalance. In short, the eyes are crooked and commonly known as crossed eyes, although the misalignment need not be crossed, but can be up, down, in, or out. Strabismus commonly causes binocular polyopia Strabismus is not automatically a contraindication for refractive surgery , however there are several considerations that need to be evaluated before making a decision about conventional or wavefront LASIK IntraLASIK PRK ... P-IOL , or RLE Refractive surgery techniques alone will not resolve a strabismus problem. Refractive surgery only attempts to change the refractive error of each eye individually. If ambylopia - lazy eye - has developed due to strabismus, refractive surgery will not be able to restore vision beyond that which is attainable with corrective lenses. A concern for those with strabismus who use glasses with lenses that add prism correction to accommodate the strabismus is that after refractive surgery there may no longer be a need for correction of myopia hyperopia , or astigmatism , but the need for the prism to help align images may remain. Even a small amount of prism can make an important difference for image alignment. Even if refractive surgery resolves sphere and cylinder, glasses may be required to limit binocular polyopia. As a general rule, a person with mild strabismus who can successfully wear contact lenses may be an appropriate candidate for refractive surgery.

Extractions: Walleyes Definition Strabismus involves deviation of the alignment of one eye in relation to the other. Alternative Names Crossed eyes; Esotropia; Exotropia; Squint; Walleye Causes And Risk 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. Some other disorders associated with strabismus in children include: Acquired strabismus in adults can be caused by injuries to the orbit of the eye or brain, including closed head injuries and strokes. People with diabetes often have loss of circulation causing an acquired paralytic strabismus. Loss of vision in one eye from any cause will usually cause the eye to gradually turn outward (exotropia). Because the brains of adults are already developed for vision, the problems associated with amblyopia, in which the brain ignores input from one eye, do not occur with adult strabismus.
