When you look at an object, you’re using several muscles to move both eyes to focus on it. If you have a problem with the muscles, the eyes don’t work properly.
When you look at an object, you’re using several muscles to move both eyes to focus on it. If you have a problem with the muscles, the eyes don’t work properly. There are many kinds of eye movement disorders Strabismus – a disorder in which the two eyes don’t line up in the same direction. This results in “crossed eyes” or “walleye.” Some eye movement disorders are present at birth. Others develop over time and may be associated with other problems, such as injuries. Treatments include glasses, eye muscle exercises, and surgery. Symptoms
• Symptoms of strabismus may be present all the time, or only when you are tired or sick.
• The eyes do not move together and may appear crossed at times.
• The other eye will appear turned out, up, or down from wherever the first eye is focused. Someone with strabismus may also have:
• Depth perception loss
• Double vision
• Vision loss.
