Extractions: SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6,1996 Two to four percent of America's children develop strabismus and/or amblyopia. The American Academy of Ophthalmology says early detection and treatment of these disorders during childhood are essential for preventing permanent vision loss. What Are Strabismus and Amblyopia? Strabismus is misalignment of the eyes. One eye may look straight ahead, while the other turns inward, outward, upward or downward. Although the problem appears to be improperly coordinated eye muscles, it is sometimes accompanied by vision loss. Amblyopia is reduced vision in one or both eyes as a consequence of failure to develop normal sight in early childhood. Amblyopia can result from a number of underlying abnormalities, including strabismus and focusing abnormalities.

Extractions: (Crossed or turned eye) Overview Strabismus is a problem caused by one or more improperly functioning eye muscles , resulting in a misalignment of the eyes. Normally, each eye focuses on the same spot but sends a slightly different message to the brain. The brain superimposes the two images, giving vision depth and dimension. Here's an easy way to see how the eyes work together: hold your finger at arm's length. While looking at your finger, close one eye, then the other. Notice how your finger changes position. Even though the images are slightly different, the brain interprets them as one. Each eye has six muscles that work in unison to control movements. The brain controls the eye muscles, which keep the eyes properly aligned. It is critical that the muscles function together for the brain to interpret the image from each eye as a single one.

Extractions: Strabismus (Crossed Eyes) Back to Other Specialities Substation What is Strabismus? Strabismus (deviation of the eyes) affects approximately two percent of the nations children, half of whom are born with the condition. It is critical that this handicap be diagnosed and corrected at an early age since children with uncorrected strabismus may go on to develop amblyopia ("lazy eye"), a dimming of vision in an eye that has not been used. The term strabismus is used to describe eyes that are not straight or properly aligned. This misalignment results from the failure of the eye muscles to work together. One eye, or sometimes both, may turn in (crossed eyes), turn out (wall eyes), turn up or turn down. sometimes, more than one of the "turns" are present. The deviation may be constant or it ma come and go. It may be present at birth, become apparent at a later age, or result after an illness or accident. The patterns of deviation can vary among individuals. AI alternating strabismus, the eyes "take turns" wandering. Strabismus can be more marked in some people when they use their eyes for near activities and in others when they are focusing for distance or simply day-dreaming. In the young child, strabismus may vary not only from day-to-day, but during the course of a day. Usually the condition is worse when a child is tired, ill or emotionally upset.

Extractions: Description Strabismus or squint/crossed eyes , occurs when there is a misalignment or lack of co-ordination between the two eyes. Generally with this condition, the two eyes point in different directions. The misalignment is a result of the failure of the eye muscles to work together properly, caused by muscle weakness in the eye (leading to uneven muscle development), injury, other eye diseases, a brain tumour, or a tumour in the eye (cf. childhood cancer It is usually diagnosed in childhood, but can also occur later in life. An estimated 4% of American children have some degree of crossed eyes and it affects boys and girls equally. Most children with crossed eyes are otherwise normal, but there is a high incidence of this disorder in children with cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus. Crossed eyes often worsen when eye muscles are tired-for example, late in the day, in bright sunshine, or during the course of an illness. Crossed eyes sometimes cause double vision in children, but more commonly does in adults. If untreated, crossed eyes are likely to worsen with age. Crossed eyes are classified by the way the eye deviates:

Strabismus is a condition where your eyes don't look toward the same object together. One eye moves normally, while the other points in (esotropia or "cross eyed"), out (exotropia), up (hypertropia) or down (hypotropia). Strabismus can lead to amblyopia . Strabismus is the physical disorder, and amblyopia is the visual consequence. Newborns often appear to have crossed eyes due to a lack of developed vision, but this disappears as the infant grows. True strabismus does not disappear as the child grows. Visit your eyecare practitioner if you're unsure if your child is demonstrating true strabismus. The earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the better the visual results.

Extractions: Strabismus Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned, meaning one eye may be straight while the other is turned inward, outward, upward, or downward. A visual defect commonly accompanies strabismus. Strabismus affects about 4% of children and can continue through life, or in some instances, can begin in adulthood. Good alignment of both eyes during childhood allows normal vision to develop. The first nine years of life are particularly important, since this is the Period when the brain is developing visually. In strabismus, the abnormal alignment may cause reduced vision, which is referred to as amblyopia. In addition, the brain will often use the image of the accurate eye while ignoring the image of the deviating eye, which can cause a loss of one component of depth perception known as binocular vision with stereopsis. Early diagnosis and treatment of strabismus is important and can directly affect outcome with respect to visual acuity and binocular vision. Children's eyes should be examined as part of regular check-ups by a pediatrician or family doctor from infancy through the school years . Infant's eyes are often slightly misaligned during the first month of life. However, large degrees of misalignment or misalignment persisting beyond about one month of age should be investigated. It is often difficult for parents to determine whether their babies' eyes are misaligned. The pediatrician and the ophthamologist can help determine whether an infant has strabismus.

This is caused by the inability of the superior oblique muscle, one of the eye muscles, to slide through its natural pulley system along the bony wall of the eye. This condition is often first noted in a child when the parent notes that the uninvolved eye is "floating" up when the child looks to the side, when actually it is the other eye which is not moving up normally. eye muscle surgery can correct the problem. Mobius Syndrome Mobius syndrome is characterized by multiple disturbances of the muscles of the eyes and face. Most notable is the inability of one or both eyes to move outwards. This is often accompanied by eye crossing at birth which often needs to be corrected with eye muscle surgery . The involvement of the nerves that supply the muscles of the face is noted by early difficulty with sucking and feeding, as well as deficient closing of the eyes during sleep. The face can appear like a mask in that the ability to smile or wrinkle the forehead is absent.

Extractions: Table of Contents - This Web Page Overview Recovery And Restrictions Adjustable Suture Surgery For Adults Overview Eye muscle surgery, or "strabismus surgery", involves either increasing or decreasing the tension of the small muscles on the surface of the eye. These muscles move the eye in all directions. Illustration of the six extraocular eye muscles. This type of surgery is typically performed in a hospital outpatient surgical facility. During the surgery the eye is never removed! Rather, a small incision (approximately 1/4 inch) is made on the clear membrane covering the white part of one or both eyes. Through this incision, the appropriate surgery is then performed on the surface of the eye to eliminate the strabismus. The inside of the eyeball is not entered during this type of surgery. Contemporary strabismus surgical techniques involve "hidden" incisions where there is no visible scarring of the eye surface as a result of this surgery.
