📋Overview

Strabismus is a condition where the eyes do not align with each other when looking at an object, resulting in one eye focusing on a specific point while the other eye deviates in a different direction. This misalignment may be constant or intermittent and can affect the development of binocular vision and depth perception.

The disorder involves a lack of coordination between the extraocular muscles or the neurological pathways that control eye movement. Clinical observation often reveals the eyes turning inward, outward, upward, or downward, which can interfere with the brain's ability to integrate visual information into a single image.
