As a national children Strabismus and Amblyopia public welfare center. We have hold winter-break Strabismus and Amblyopia training center for the kids, with 10 consecutive year. It helped the countless children and their families to back in their normal life and brand new future.

What is Strabismus? Strabismus is a condition where an eye is turned inwards, outwards, upwards or downwards. Most eye turns occur during the first fw years of life. Strabismus usually begins in infancy or childhood. Some toddlers have accommodative esotropia. Most cases of strabismus do not have a well-understood cause. It seems to develop because the eye muscles are uncoordinated and do not move the eye together Some children develop strabismus shortly after birth while others develop in during their toddler years, with the majority coccurring before the age of 7 years. Eye turns can cause a range of complaints, including double vision, decreased vision, eye strain, decreased depth perception, and unusual head postures.

What is amblyopia

Commonly what we called, lazy eye, is closely related to strabismus. Children learn to suppress double vision so effectively that the deviating eye gradually loses vision. It may be necessary to patch the good eye and wear glasses before treating the strabismus. Amblyopia does not occur when alternate eye deviate, and adults do not develop amblyopia.

Strabismus is often treated by surgically adjusting the tension on the eye muscles. The goal of surgery is to get the eyes close enough to perfectly straight that it is hard to see any residual deviation. Surgery usually improves the conditions though the results are better in todlers.

Our center specializes in the treatment of strabismus in both children and adults, amblyopia, todler nearsightedness.

Diagnosis

Motor aspects evaluated include:

• Direction of the eyeturn (esotropia,exotropia,hypertropia)

• Size of the eyeturn

• Frequency of the eyeturn(constant or intermitent)

Sensory aspects evaluated include:

• Amblyopia – determines the type and severity of vision loss

• Cortical correspondence – determines whether the patient has the sensory potential to use the two eyes together to achieve normal binocular(two-eyed)vision

• Potential of the patient to integrate the images from both eye into a single “fused” image

• Stereopsis – determines if the patient can achieve a high level of two-eyed depth perception
