Strabimus (Crossed eyes)

Is Strabismus causing you or your child to feel self-conscious or left out in social situations? At Optimal Eye Care, we understand the challenges that Strabismus can bring, especially for young people. 

What is Strabimus?

Our experienced optometrists specialize in treating Strabismus, commonly known as "Crossed Eyes". Strabismus is a condition that affects the alignment of the eyes, causing one or both eyes to turn inward, outward, or upward, resulting in poor depth perception, double vision, or even vision loss. If left untreated, strabismus can lead to a range of serious visual problems, including amblyopia.

  • Prescription Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses: Correcting refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, can help improve vision and eye alignment.

  • Vision Therapy: Our optometrists can design a personalized vision therapy program to improve the coordination between the two eyes and strengthen the weak eye's visual system.

  • Prism Glasses: These special glasses can help redirect the light entering your eyes and improve the alignment of your eyes.

  • Eye Muscle Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to align the eyes properly. Our optometrists can work closely with a qualified ophthalmologist to ensure the best possible outcome.

Our optometrists have the expertise and technology to diagnose and treat strabismus in children and adults. We offer a comprehensive approach to strabismus care, including a thorough evaluation of your eyes and visual system, as well as customized treatment plans to help you achieve optimal visual function.
