Strabismus, commonly known as misaligned eyes, crossed eyes, or squint, is a condition in which the eyes do not align properly. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other eye focuses normally.
At Stewart Eye, we provide comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment for pediatric strabismus to support proper visual development, improve eye alignment, and prevent long-term vision complications. Care is led by Dr. Sara Stewart, with a gentle, child-centered approach.
Strabismus can appear in different forms, including:
One eye turns inward toward the nose
One eye turns outward away from the nose
One eye turns upward
Eye misalignment alternates between eyes
Strabismus may be caused by muscle imbalance, focusing problems, nerve issues, or underlying eye conditions.
Early diagnosis and treatment are key to achieving the best visual outcomes.
Treatment for strabismus aims to improve eye alignment, restore binocular vision, and prevent vision loss. Depending on your child’s needs, treatment may include:
