Strabismus is a condition where the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. One eye may turn in, out, up, or down while the other eye focuses straight ahead. This misalignment can lead to double vision or difficulties with depth perception. Strabismus can occur in both children and adults and may be present at birth or develop later in life. Treatment for strabismus often includes glasses, eye exercises, or surgery, depending on the severity and underlying cause. Early diagnosis and intervention are important to prevent complications, such as amblyopia, commonly known as "lazy eye," which can result from prolonged misalignment.
