Paediatric strabismus care: how orthoptists and vision therapy improve eye alignment
Strabismus, colloquially known as squint, is a condition where the eyes are misaligned – for example, when looking straight ahead, one eye may be fixed to the correct point, but the other could be turning inward, upward, downward, or outward.
