Few days ago I was talking to my friends from the college. They were talking about some little boy specifying him as the one with Stabismus. I didn’t want to be the only one who doesn’t know what that is, so I asked nothing. Now I am interested to know anything about that. Any information that will help me stops feeling as ignoramus.

Stabismus is disorder more commonly known as crossed-eyes. That is vision condition in which a person can not align both eyes simultaneously under normal conditions. One or even both eyes may turn in, out, down or up. Eye turn may be constant, that is when the eye turns all of the time. Also Stabismus may be intermittent or when turning only some of the time, such as under stressful situations or when ill. Stabismus always requires appropriate evaluation and treatment, no matter if it is constant or intermittent. Common question about treating Stabismus is what age should treatment no longer be attempted. Answer is that everyone deserves a chance, and age shouldn’t be a deterrent. Up to 5 % of all children have some type of degree of Stabismus. They could have double vision and this occurs because of the misalignment of the two eyes in relation to one another.
