Strabismus may be caused by congenital developmental abnormalities or acquired factors.
Strabismus is a common ophthalmologic condition in which the patient’s eyes are not oriented parallel to each other, and when one eye gazes at a target directly in front of it, the other eye’s position is skewed. Strabismus has many causes. Congenital developmental abnormalities are a common cause of strabismus, and many acquired factors can also cause strabismus, such as trauma, neurological lesions, and refractive errors.
Depending on the direction of deviation, strabismus can be categorized as internal strabismus, external strabismus, vertical strabismus, etc. Patients with strabismus may experience discomfort such as double vision and loss of visual acuity.
It is recommended that patients with strabismus should consult the hospital in time to assess their condition and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
