Eye turn (Strabismus)

Eye Exams

Eye turn (strabismus). Dr. Kavita Malhotra Vision Specialist.

Do your eyes drift? Does your child have an eye that drifts out or in?

Do you have double vision (diplopia)? Do you or your child bump into things or have difficulty with eye hand coordination? Have you or your child had strabismus surgery and still have problems?

Our eye examinations include special testing for the presence of strabismus because a standard eye screening or exam often does not test for problems with binocular vision (two-eyed vision), such as strabismus. Also, some types of eye turns are not easily observed by someone who is not a specialist.

Optometric Vision Therapy can improve the ability to use both eyes together (binocularity), depth perception, eye tracking, and eye hand coordination which can have an impact on activities of daily living including reading and sports. 

If you have any questions or are looking for a second opinion after a recommendation for strabismus surgery contact us. We can schedule an evaluation and Dr. Malhotra would be happy to discuss your concerns and best treatment options.
