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. This disorder can be present in one eye or both and can be a constant or intermittent issue. Strabismus has several possible causes, which can occur later in life, or patients can be born with it (which is called congenital strabismus). In this article, a leading orthoptist shares how strabismus can be treated using vision therapy and orthoptics.
