Dowler Curlee20 May, 2023Health

Strabismus, or 'crossed eyes', is a treatable eye misalignment disorder managed through early detection and options like eyeglasses, vision therapy, or surgery. Strabismus comes in various types, each with unique characteristics. Esotropia, the most common type, involves one or both eyes turning inward. On the other hand, in exotropia, the eyes deviate outward. Hypertropia is when one eye turns upward, and hypotropia is characterized by the downward deviation of one eye.
