Bilateral Strabismus
Strabismus is an eye disorder characterized by eyes that do not look
in the same direction. One eye may look straight ahead, while the other
looks in, out, up or down. Caused by underdeveloped, weakened or damaged
eye muscles, strabismus in newborns may correct itself once vision develops
fully after three or four months of age. After that, vision therapy
or surgery may be required to correct the affected eye.
Bilateral strabismus, also known as accommodative strabismus, occurs
as a result of strong farsightedness. A child with bilateral strabismus
focuses extra hard to correct the refractive disorder that one eye or
both eyes turn too far inward. Bilateral strabismus usually appears
before the age of two, but can occur as late as six years of age.
