What Is Strabismus?

Strabismus is a condition where the eyes do not align properly. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other eye remains straight. This misalignment can be constant or intermittent and may affect one or both eyes. If left untreated, strabismus can lead to complications such as lazy eye (amblyopia), double vision, or poor depth perception. Early diagnosis and treatment are key—especially in children, where visual development is still occurring.

Symptoms

Signs of strabismus can vary but often include:
  • One or both eyes appearing crossed or misaligned
  • Eyes that do not move together
  • Squinting or closing one eye to see clearly
  • Head tilting or turning to compensate for vision issues
  • Double vision (more common in adults)
  • Difficulty with depth perception or hand-eye coordination
If you or your child are showing any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an eye exam with a strabismus specialist.

Strabismus Diagnosis at Meadows Eye

At Meadows Eye in Las Vegas, we use advanced diagnostic tools to thoroughly assess eye alignment, movement, vision, and depth perception. Our evaluation helps pinpoint the specific cause of strabismus—whether muscle imbalance, neurological factors, or vision issues. With a clear diagnosis, we develop a personalized treatment plan focused on restoring proper alignment and preserving long-term vision health.

Treatment Options

Treatment for strabismus depends on the severity, underlying cause, and patient’s age. At Meadows Eye, we offer advanced diagnostic tools and the full spectrum of treatment options:
Non-Surgical Treatments:
  • Prescription Glasses or Contact Lenses: Correct refractive errors that contribute to eye misalignment.
  • Prism Lenses: Special lenses that help align vision.
  • Vision Therapy: Customized eye exercises to strengthen coordination between the eyes.
Surgical Treatment:

In cases where non-surgical treatments are insufficient, outpatient strabismus surgery may be recommended. Our surgeons use precise techniques to adjust the eye muscles, improving alignment and restoring binocular vision. Strabismus surgery is typically safe, effective, and offers long-term results.
