It is a common condition among children and affects about 4% of the U.S. population. However, many people don\u2019t realize that strabismus can develop in adulthood as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strabismus usually involves problems with the muscle control of the eye. One eye appears straight, while the other is turning inward, outward, upward, or downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are four common types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Esotropia &#8211; an inward turning of the eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exotropia &#8211; an outward turning of the eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hypertropia &#8211; the abnormal eye is higher than the average eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hypotropia &#8211; the abnormal eye is lower than the normal eye<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kt-accordion-id601_337921-13

Your Northwest Eye ophthalmologist will probably suggest one or more non-invasive treatments before recommending eye muscle surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eyeglasses or contact lenses<\/strong> may correct the problem in some patients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prism lenses<\/strong> are special lenses that are thicker on one side than the other. The prisms alter the light entering the eye and reduce how much the eye needs to turn to view objects. Sometimes the prisms can eliminate the eye turning altogether.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vision therapy<\/strong> is a program of eye exercises that trains the eyes and brain to work together more effectively. These visual exercises help to improve eye coordination and eye focusing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eye muscle surgery<\/strong> can change the muscles&#8217; length or position around the eyes, so they are aligned correctly.

It&#8217;s used when vision in one of the eyes is reduced. The brain and the eye don&#8217;t function properly together.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eye may look normal, but it is not functioning correctly. For the best results, treat amblyopia in children as soon as a diagnosis occurs. It can be challenging to treat if the vision does not develop on time in the affected eye.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kt-accordion-id601_d5b80c-c6
