Activity Description

Strabismus, often called "crossed eyes," is a common visual disorder affecting millions worldwide. This condition disrupts the normal alignment of the eyes, causing them to point in different directions. Strabismus can manifest in various forms and degrees and typically develops in childhood. Left untreated, strabismus can lead to multiple visual impairments and even impact an individual's self-esteem and quality of life. Adult-onset strabismus is due to neurological causes or can result from childhood strabismus. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of strabismus and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition.
