Strabismus/Squint

Strabismus is an eye misalignment where one eye is turned in a different direction from the other. This mainly affects one of the six muscles responsible for eye movement, leading the eyes to not maintain normal occular alignment.

Description:

Strabismus includes accommodating esotropia, which occurs in cases of uncorrected farsightedness and a family history of eyes turning inward. Intermittent exotropia involves one eye fixating on a target while the other points outward. Infantile esotropia occurs in babies before 6 months old and requires surgery to correct alignment. Strabismus can be described as horizontal (esotropia), vertical (hypertropia), or alternating (hypotropia). It can also be classified based on nerve malfunctions, such as oculomotor palsy, superior oblique palsy, or abducens palsy, which affect the third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerves.

Cause:

Some causes include muscule dysfunction, farsightedness (hyperopia), problems with cognition, injuries, or infections. Premature birth, cerebral palsy, and a family history of the illness are other causes.
