What is Strabism

It is said that the eyes are not centered. It is one of the most common eye problems in children, affecting about 4 percent of children younger than 6 years of age (girl or boy). In this disease, one or both eyes may be diverted in, outward, up, or down, and may also be seen in a child at the same time than one. Another name for this disease is Lucie.

Simultaneous function of the eyes:

In normal vision, when two eyes focus on a single point, the brain combines images in the two eyes and turns into a single and three-dimensional image, which makes the three-dimensional image understands objects in depth. When one of the eyes is not on its natural axis, two different images are sent to the brain. In children, the brain learns to ignore the image of the perverted eye and only see the image of the healthy eye, while even if there is a double vision at first, it quickly disappears and the child loses a deep understanding of objects.

Adults with acquired strabism often have double vision because the brain receives the image from both eyes and is unable to remove the image of the perverted eye.
