Strabismus is when your eyes are not lined up properly and they point in different directions. Strabismus affects vision, since both eyes must aim at the same spot together to see properly. Adults with strabismus often have double vision.
Strabismus can be treated. The most common treatment is surgery to adjust the muscles preventing the eyes from aligning properly. Other options are eye muscle exercises, wearing prism eyeglasses or medicine injections.
Different treatment options mean no one has to live with poor vision and discomfort from strabismus.
