Normally, our eyes work together, providing us with one single image and providing accurate depth perception. However, when there’s misalignment of the eyes and they don’t point in the same direction, that’s known as strabismus. It’s much more than a cosmetic issue; a variety of complications can develop if strabismus isn’t treated. Primary care clinicians are usually the first healthcare contact of those with strabismus, and it becomes important for us to recognize it and arrange proper referral for management. Does strabismus only occur in children? How does it differ from amblyopia? What is the treatment and how effective is it? I’ll get answers to these questions and more as we discuss “Strabismus: Symptoms, Causes and Treatment” with my guest Dr. Erick Bothun, a pediatric ophthalmologist at the Mayo Clinic.
