Strabismus is a visual defect in which the eyes are misaligned (not straight) and point in different directions. Usually one eye can look straight-ahead while the other eye turns inward (toward the nose), outward (away from the nose), upward, or downward. At times, the turned eye may straighten out while the straight eye becomes turned. Strabismus tends to be common, occurring in about 4% of children. Strabismus can run in families or it may be sporadic in occurrence. What causes strabismus? There are many different causes of strabismus. Six eye muscles, controlling eye movement, are attached to the outside of each eye. In each eye, two muscles move the eye right or left. The other four muscles move it up or down and control tilting movements. To line up and focus both eyes on a single target, all eye muscles of each eye must be balanced and working together with the corresponding muscles of the opposite eye. It is the brain which controls these eye muscles and so very often strabismus is caused by a mis-wiring, or bad connection, from the brain to the eyes. Poor vision in one eye, such as a cataract, also may cause strabismus. Another common cause of strabismus is hyperopia (farsightedness) which may cause the eyes to turn inward (crossed-eyes).

This is also called esotropia, or convergent strabismus. What causes Strabismus? Most commonly, a tendency to have some type of strabismus is inherited. Sometimes the condition is due to the eyes being out of focus and the need for eyeglasses or, occasionally, to some muscle abnormality. Very rarely, strabismus may be secondary to a serious abnormality inside the eye, such as a cataract or tumour. What happens to sight in eyes with Strabismus?

http://www.visual-edge.org/strabismus_amblyopia.html

Extractions: STRABISMUS can be defined as that condition where the two eyes are not aimed in the same common direction. Strabismus can have many different causes, but the most common cause is simply that the person has never learned to use the two eyes together at the same time. A child is born with two eyes, but teaming them together is a learned skill [perceptual motor skill or developmental skill]. A child learns this skill similarly to the way he learns to walk and learns to talk. From a developmental standpoint a child first learns to use the two halves of the body together before he learns to use the two eyes together and, developmentally, a child first learns control of the large muscles of the body before he learns control of the fine muscles of the eyes. IF BOTH EYES are pointing in the same direction, the child can experience what is termed single binocular vision (stereoscopic vision and binocular depth perception). However, if the two eyes are not pointing in the same direction a child may experience double vision [such as, in cases of strabismus, amblyopia, deviation of the eye, deviating eyes]. Since seeing double is an intolerable sensation, most children will learn to suppress or turn off (ignore) the visual impulses coming in from the deviating eye. This generally results in a deterioration or reduction of vision in the eye that is being turned off (the deviating eye). Since clear vision is also a learned skill, the visual acuity may not develop properly in the deviating eye. When one eye does not develop adequate visual skills, the visual condition is termed amblyopia (or lazy eye).

Extractions: Is Your Child Especially at Risk? What is Strabismus? Strabismus, the medical term used when the two eyes are not straight occurs in approximately 2% to 4% of the population. There are three common types of strabismus: Crossed eyes: a child may be born with this condition, or it may develop within a few months of birth or around age 2 years. This is also called esotropia, or convergent strabismus. Walleye, or divergent eyes: a child may be born with this condition, or it may develop later. This is also called exotropia, or divergent strabismus. Vertical strabismus: the eyes are out of alignment vertically. What Causes Strabismus? Most commonly, a tendency to have some type of strabismus is inherited. Sometimes the condition is due to the eyes being out of focus and the need for eyeglasses or, occasionally, to some muscle abnormality. Very rarely, strabismus may be secondary to a serious abnormality inside the eye, such as a cataract or tumour.

It is normal for the eyes of newborns to sometimes drift out of alignment, especially when the child is tired or is trying to focus on something quite near. However, the rule of thumb I learned in residency was that after three months of age, any eye that crossed should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist. Crossing of the eyes could be an early warning of lazy eye ( amblyopia ), which if not detected can lead to permanent visual loss. Very rarely, it is a sign of a cancerous tumor growing in the eye ( retinoblastoma Talk to your doctor about this right away. Many times the crossing of the eyes is more apparent than real. This is called pseudostrabismus. It is caused by the fact that babies have a little fold of tissue (the epicanthal fold) that covers the upper inner corner of the eye. Since humans are asymmetrical creatures, one eye is usually covered a bit more than the other for starters, and when the child glances a certain way to the side, it appears that one eye is crossing inward. Your doctor can show you how to check for symmetry of the little highlight on the pupils. Basically, if the highlight is in the same part of the pupil of each eye, the eyes are normally aligned. If the highlight appears to be in a different area of the pupil from side to side, tell your doctor

strabismus, more commonly known as crossedeyes, is a vision condition in whicha person can not align both eyes simultaneously under normal conditions.
http://www.christenbury.com/pediatric.shtml

Extractions: Proper vision will help children get a healthy start on life. The Christenbury Eye Center recommends that children have their first eye exam at age four and every two years after that, depending on whether vision correction is required. Children who need surgery or corrective eyewear should be seen yearly to make sure their prescription continues to be accurate. The Christenbury Optical Shop offers expert advice on fitting children for glasses and helping them adjust to corrective eyewear. Strabismus , more commonly known as crossed-eyes, is a vision condition in which a person can not align both eyes simultaneously under normal conditions. One or both of the eyes may turn in, out, up or down. An eye turn may be constant (when the eye turns all of the time) or intermittent (turning only some of the time, such as, under stressful situations or when ill). Whether constant or intermittent, strabismus always requires appropriate evaluation and treatment. ELECTRONIC MEDICAL REPORTS EPIC-2100 REFRACTION SYSTEM IOL MASTER LADARVISION 4000 ...

Extractions: Resources Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes do not point in the same direction. It can also be referred to as a tropia or squint. Strabismus occurs in 2-5% of all children. About half are born with the condition, which causes one or both eyes to turn: Strabismus is equally common in boys and girls. It sometimes runs in families. Types of strabismus Esotropia is the most common type of strabismus in infants. Accommodative esotropia develops in children under age two who cross their eyes when focusing on objects nearby. This usually occurs in children who are moderately to highly farsighted (hyperopic). Another common form of strabismus, exotropia, may only be noticeable when a child looks at far-away objects, daydreams, or is tired or sick. Sometimes the eye turn is always in the same eye; however sometimes the turn alternates from one eye to the other'. Most children with strabismus have comitant strabismus. No matter where they look, the degree of deviation does not change. In incomitant strabismus, the amount of misalignment depends upon which direction the eyes are pointed.

GadFly BIOLOGICAL OVERVIEW Strabismus, is formally defined as "a disorder of vision due to a deviation from normal orientation of one or both eyes" and is the medical term for 'cross-eyed'. Mutants of Drosophila strabismus , now more properly termed Van Gogh (Vang) , show a disrupted eye polarity , the relative orientation of ommatidia or photoreceptor units. Polarity in the Drosophila eye is manifested as a dorsoventral reflection of two chiral forms of the individual ommatidia. If one imagines the two forms were to resemble the face of a clock, one of them would appear in a normal orientation while the other would appear as its mirror opposite. These forms fall on opposite sides of a dorsoventral midline of mirror symmetry known as the equator. Polarity is established in the eye imaginal disc as cells adopt their fates and as the ommatidial precursors undergo coordinated rotation within the epithelium; the mechanisms that coordinate these early patterning events remain poorly understood.
