Strabismus, commonly referred to as crossed or wandering eyes, occurs when one or both eyes turns in or out, up or down. The condition is caused by the brain's inability to coordinate both eyes simultaneously. The brain is the master control center of vision; STRABISMUS IS A "BRAIN" PROBLEM. The need for surgery is often oversimplified, such as "the weak eye muscles must be operated upon to realign the eye and correct the problem."
Did you know that Newborns have all the eye structures necessary to see, but they haven't learned to use them yet? Your baby holds the eyes roughly straight at birth from the BALANCE centers in the brain, NOT the vision centers. This tells you how much work has to be done to see normally. Thus, VISION IS A LEARNED SKILL, NOT an automatic one.
Current research shows that about 20% of school-aged children have undetected vision problems which are hindering their school performance. Many of these children have passed their school's vision screening, which is only designed to check children's distance vision as measured by the 20/20 line on the eye chart.
Most don't know the fraction 20/20 is merely being able to read the size of font at a distance of 20 feet. It's your "eyesight". EYE TEAMING: The skill that allows both eyes to work together in a precise and coordinated way. Good eye teaming allows sustained, single, and comfortable vision, and is the basis for depth perception.
