What is strabismus?
Strabismus is a visual condition where the eyes don’t align properly and affects binocular vision. This condition can lead to double vision, eye strain, and reduced depth perception. The other name for strabismus is “squint” or “lazy eye.” It develops when the eye muscles don’t coordinate, causing one eye to turn inward, outward, upward, or downward. This misalignment can be continuous or discontinuous and can impact people of all ages. Early diagnosis and the right treatment also involve corrective lenses, eye exercises, or surgery. Early treatment can help manage strabismus and improve visual alignment to improve overall eye health.
How strabismus develop?
While the exact cause is not confirmed, the following are some of the common factors in how strabismus develops:
Abnormal Nerve and Muscle Connections
Strabismus continually develops from abnormalities in the complex network linking nerves and muscles responsible for eye movement. Disturbances in this sensitive interplay can lead to misalignments that emerge as strabismus.
Recurrence of Childhood Strabismus
Childhood strabismus can reappear in adulthood, highlighting the persistent nature of the condition. Unaddressed issues from earlier years and new factors lead to the recurrence, which requires continuous attention and intervention.
Uncorrected Childhood Strabismus
Failing to address strabismus during childhood can have lasting results. When left uncorrected, the condition may persist or reappear in adulthood, underscoring the importance of early intervention.
Thyroid Eye
Diseases
Disorders affecting the thyroid can impact eye health, potentially leading to strabismus. The sensitive relationship between thyroid function and ocular movements shows the systemic nature of this condition.
Neurological Conditions
Strabismus usually coexists with specific neurological conditions. The complex interplay between the nervous system and ocular control mechanisms underscores how disturbances in neurological health can lead to the development of strabismus.
Warning Signs of Strabismus
If you have strabismus, you may notice the following symptoms:
- Misaligned Eyes: One of the primary indicators of strabismus is a noticeable misalignment of the eyes, where they do not focus on the same point simultaneously.
- Double Vision: Individuals with strabismus may experience double vision, as the brain receives conflicting signals from the misaligned eyes.
- Squinting or Closing One Eye: Struggling to align both eyes, affected individuals may unconsciously squint or close one eye to improve focus.
- Headaches and Eye Fatigue: Strabismus can lead to headaches and eye fatigue, as the eye muscles work overtime to compensate for misalignment.
- Poor Depth Perception: Difficulty judging depth or distance due to the misalignment of the eyes.
If you notice any of these signs, consult with our eye care professional right away to get a clear and focused vision.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Strabismus
Surgery for strabismus in adults isn’t only about cosmetic purposes; it is also used to treat double vision. Strabismus can be treated with the right approach, and there are various approaches to treat it, such as:
- Eye Muscle Realignment Surgery
- Eyeglasses/Contact Lenses
- Prism Lenses
- Orthoptics Exercises
- Medications
Moreover, diagnosis involves a comprehensive eye exam, assessing medical history, symptoms, and family history. Early detection is key to preventing worsening conditions and possible underlying health issues.
