Convergent concomitant strabismus - what does this mean

Convergent concomitant strabismus is a condition where the eyes do not point in the same direction, and the misalignment is usually constant. it is caused by a misalignment of the muscles controlling the eyes, which can be due to a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, trauma, or neurological disorders.

What happens during the disease - convergent concomitant strabismus

Convergent concomitant strabismus is a type of strabismus caused by an imbalance of the extraocular eye muscles and/or an abnormality in the brain's ability to control the muscles. this imbalance results in the eyes not being able to move together and converge in the same direction. this can be due to a variety of factors, such as a congenital abnormality, trauma, or a neurological disorder. the exact cause of the imbalance is not always known, but it can lead to vision problems, including double vision, reduced depth perception, and difficulty focusing on objects.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

Conduct a comprehensive eye exam
Test for visual acuity
Test for refractive errors
Assess the ability to converge and diverge the eyes
Test for any associated ocular motility disturbances
Perform a cover test to assess for strabismus
Check for any associated ocular misalignment
Conduct an ocular alignment test
Assess the patient's ability to maintain fusion
Perform a binocular vision evaluation

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal: To reduce or eliminate the misalignment of the eyes

Prescribe glasses with prisms to reduce or eliminate the misalignment of the eyes
Prescribe eye exercises to strengthen the eye muscles
Prescribe vision therapy, which includes activities such as tracking objects with the eyes and playing games with eye-hand coordination
Prescribe Botox injections to weaken the muscles that cause the misalignment
Prescribe patching to strengthen the weaker eye
Prescribe surgery to correct the misalignment

6 Days of Hospitalization Required

Convergent concomitant strabismus - Prevention

The best way to prevent convergent concomitant strabismus is to ensure that a child's vision is properly monitored and corrected at an early age. this includes regular eye exams, proper nutrition, and avoiding activities that could cause eye strain. additionally, protective eyewear should be worn when engaged in activities that may put the eyes at risk.
