The Strabismus Unit treats patients of all ages from the HUS area, and difficult cases from all over the country. We also provide consultations. Physicians, orthoptists, and optometrists make up the treatment teams.
Strabismus means a condition where the eyes do not align with each other, and only one eye is focused correctly on an object the person is looking at. The other eye is aimed in, out, up, or down rather than towards the object. Strabismus can be constant, it can switch sides, or it can be visible only when closely examined.
When strabismus causes difficulties to see or to communicate, it usually can be treated. Treatment options are glasses, prism lenses, or surgery of the extraocular muscles.
