Scott, MD Highlights Strabismus before 9 years of age (visual immaturity) is horizontal, and the main deficiency is misalignment Strabismus acquired after 9 years of age (visual maturity) is both horizontal and vertical, and the main complaint is diplopia After 9 years of age, both strabismic deficiencies are treatable with restorative surgery, which is performed at UI Hospitals and Clinics with a high rate of success and low risk of complications or reoperation A large postoperative survey demonstrated that adult strabismus is more than just a cosmetic problem and treatment is worthwhile History Adult strabismus includes all types of genetic or acquired strabismus that have persisted in individuals beyond 9, which is considered the age of visual maturity. The major types of strabismus are horizontal and vertical. The former is mostly associated with genetic conditions and usually has its onset before the age of visual maturity. The latter is, in most cases, acquired and its onset is usually after the age of visual maturity. However, it may also occur in childhood. Horizontal strabismus can be of two types - esotropia or exotropia. New facts Some forms of strabismus can successfully be corrected with glasses, others require surgery. Surgery for strabismus in adults aims at restoring alignment, eliminating diplopia, and enabling sensory fusion. Restorative surgery for strabismus in adults is carried out at UI Hospitals and Clinics with minimal risks and a high rate of success.

Health Topics A-Z Search 1Up Health Strabismus Information Strabismus Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Alternative names : Crossed eyes, Esotropia, Exotropia, Squint, Walleye Definition : Strabismus involves deviation of the alignment of one eye in relation to the other. Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors 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: Retinopathy of prematurity Retinoblastoma Traumatic brain injury Hemangioma near eye during infancy Apert syndrome Noonan syndrome Prader-Willi syndrome Trisomy 18 Congenital rubella Incontinentia pigmenti syndrome Cerebral palsy 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.

Pediatric Database (PEDBASE) Discipline: OPH Last Updated: 6/01/94 STRABISMUS DEFINITION: Abnormal ocular alignment in any field of gaze, constant or intermittent, and occurring at distant and/or near fixation. EPIDEMIOLOGY: incidence: 2-5% of preschool children PATHOGENESIS: 1. Background because of oculomotor instability during the 1st month of life, adequate assessment of alignment is usually not made until 3 months of age, i.e. conjugate gaze is not established until 3 months of age other features established by 3 months of age: final eye colour trichromatism established - red, green, yellow binocularity established - depth perception infant enjoys looking at human mouth and eyes and simple coloured toys by 6 months of age, full visual fields have been established 2. Consequences of Uncorrected Strabismus 1. amblyopia - loss of visual acuity 2. loss of fusion - depth perception 3. Esotropia differential diagnosis: 1. Pseudostrabimus distinguished from a true strabismus by observing symmetrically placed corneal reflexes and a negative cover test 2. Infantile Esotropia

Strabismus Surgery What Is Strabismus? Strabismus is a visual defect in which the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. The misalignment may always be noticeable, or it may come and go. One eye may be directed straight ahead, while the other eye is turned inward, outward, upward, or downward. The turned eye may straighten at times and the straight eye may turn. Strabismus is a common condition among children, affecting about four percent, but can also occur later in life. It occurs equally in males and females and may run in families. However, many people with strabismus have no relatives with the problem.

By Roberto VOLPE, M.D. - Experimental Service - A baby at birth is already able to see, but like many other motor, neural, and sensory systems in its body, continued development is necessary for optimal function. Correct ocular development requires clear vision in both eyes and accurate eyeball alignment and movement. It is of fundamental importance that the eyes function correctly during the first years of early life. This is the period when eye development is "plastic" and can be modified of shaped easily. Strabismus and/or other visual defects can gravely interfere with this natural developmental process and cause amblyopia to occur. To check a child's visual acuity (VA) please use the Random E chart STRABISMUS Strabismus means that the two eyes are not perfectly aligned and working together when viewing some object of attention. The figures below show two forms of horizontal strabismus: convergent (cross-eyed) and divergent (wall-eyed) These are the two most common forms of strabismus, or eye muscle misalignment. Occasionally a vertical strabismus can occur, either by itself, or associated with a horizontal type strabismus. Strabismus is not always cosmetically evident. Sometimes the degree of deviation, or misalignment is very small. Other times, the strabismus may alternate from one eye to the other. Finally, strabismus may be intermittent in which the eye(s) are misaligned only part of the time.

Information from Your Family Doctor Strabismus (Cross-Eyes) What is strabismus and how do I know if my baby has it? The problem of crossed or wandering eyes is called strabismus (say: "stra-biz-muss"). It's normal for newborn babies to have eyes that cross or wander sometimes, especially when they're tired. However, if you see your child's eyes cross or see one eye wander to the side after 3 months of age, even if it happens only once in a while, tell your doctor. Also, if your child often looks at you with one eye closed, or with his or her head turned to one side, tell your doctor. Why is strabismus a problem? Normal vision needs both eyes to look in the same direction at the same time. When a child has a crossed or wandering eye, he or she gets a different picture from each eye. The child's brain blocks out the picture from the weaker eye. If this eye isn't fixed when a child is young, the child's brain will always ignore the pictures from the weak eye. This kind of vision loss is called amblyopia (say: "am-blee-o-pee-ah"). This is the most serious problem caused by crossed or wandering eyes. What can be done to fix this problem?
