Discovering Strabismus in Children: Insights from Dr. V.Chandrashekara Reddy, Pediatric Ophthalmologist

 Understanding Strabismus in Children

Strabismus, often called ‘crossed eyes,’ is a prevalent condition affecting approximately 2 – 4% of children globally. This condition refers to the misalignment of the eyes, disrupting binocular vision and depth perception (stereopsis) that impacts around-the-clock activities.

Why Early Detection Matters

Early detection of strabismus is of  paramount  importance as it profoundly influences a child’s visual development. Signs such as squinting, head tilting, or noticeable eye misalignment should prompt immediate medical attention.

A Holistic Treatment Approach

Effective management of strabismus typically involves a multidisciplinary team. Optometrists conduct thorough eye examinations and prescribe corrective measures like glasses, while orthoptists devise tailored eye exercises to enhance coordination. Ultimately, paediatric eye specialists oversee treatment progression, determining the need for surgical intervention and ensuring comprehensive care alignment.
