Strabismus commonly known as crossed eye is a condition i decided to do more research on because , there is a boy in my church that was born with strabismus, he had it up to the age of 4 and when I went home for thanksgiving break his eyes were corrected. I found that strabismus is a condition when the muscles in the eye does not receive information correctly. I also found that there are two types of strabismus, accommodative esotrpia and intermittent exotropia. Accommodative esotropia occurs because of uncorrected hyperopia while intermittent extropia develop because the eyes can not coordinate together. Treatment for strabismus includes prism lenses, vision therapy and eye muscle therapy. The boy in my church wore glasses until he was about 4 years, then had surgery.
