Other strabismus - what does this mean

Other strabismus is a type of eye misalignment caused by a variety of factors such as neurological, muscular, or anatomical abnormalities. it is usually characterized by the eyes not being aligned with each other, resulting in double vision and difficulty with depth perception. treatment usually involves the use of corrective lenses and/or surgery to realign the eyes.

What happens during the disease - other strabismus

Other strabismus is a type of eye disorder in which the eyes are not properly aligned and point in different directions. it is caused by an imbalance of the muscles that control eye movement. it can be caused by a variety of conditions such as refractive errors, neurological disorders, trauma, tumors, and genetic disorders. it can also be caused by a lack of coordination between the eyes and the brain. treatment includes glasses, eye patches, eye exercises, and surgery.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Comprehensive eye exam to assess the degree of misalignment
  • Visual acuity test to measure the clarity of vision
  • Cover test to assess the degree of misalignment
  • Retinoscopy to measure the refractive error of the eyes
  • Slit-lamp examination to check for any inflammation or infection
  • Measurement of ocular motility to assess the range of eye movement
  • Measurement of pupil size and reaction to light
  • Fundus examination to check for any retinal problems
  • Imaging tests such as CT scan or MRI to rule out any underlying neurological disorders
Additional measures:
  • Genetic testing to identify any genetic abnormalities
  • Electrophysiological tests such as electroretinography (ERG) and electro-oculography (EOG) to assess the electrical activity of the eyes

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the misalignment of the eyes and improve vision.
  • Eye muscle exercises
  • Eye patching
  • Eye drops
  • Surgery
  • Vision therapy
  • Prescribing corrective lenses

Other strabismus - Prevention

Strabismus, or crossed eyes, can be prevented by regular eye examinations for children and adults, proper nutrition, avoiding excessive exposure to screens, and proper lighting. additionally, regular physical activity can help strengthen the muscles that control eye movement and reduce the risk of strabismus.
