Strabismus
What is Strabismus(Squint)?
The word ‘Strabismus’ is an umbrella term used to describe an eye turn. The condition is classified by the direction of the eye turn, frequency, and which eye(s) are affected. When eyes are unable to align, the risk of developing Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) increases.
