Strabismus - Double Vision in children and adults




What is the treatment of Strabismus?
Treatment for strabismus aims to preserve vision, straighten the eyes and restore binocular vision.

  • Glasses- When the strabismus is caused by a refractive error, wearing glasses to improve vision may completely straighten the eyes or at least make an improvement to eye position.
  • Occlusion / Patching- If the child has a strabismus with amblyopia patching treatment will be initiated. The good eye is covered with a patch in order to force the eye with weaker vision to be used. This improves vision of the weaker eye and is carefully monitored by the orthoptist and Dr Martin. Patching, however, does not cosmetically straighten the eyes.
  • Surgery- An operation on the eye muscles may be necessary to straighten the eyes. Dr Martin will determine if surgery is appropriate in a child or adult. Surgery is performed on a child to achieve cosmesis and a functional result (i.e. to hopefully obtain binocular vision), and on an adult to achieve cosmesis. Dr Martin will need to monitor your progress following surgery and continue treatment if necessary.
