Strabismus Treatment

Causes   Diagnostics   Treatment   Benefits of treating   Feedbacks

Strabismus is misalignment of the eyes when the visual axis of one or both eyes deviates upward or downward. Under normal conditions our eyes are moving symmetrical in the same direction. Due to it, the images that we see with our eyes are combined into one stereoscopic image in our brain cortex. This phenomenon is known as stereoscopic or binocular vision.

Strabismus is the eye movement disorder when the person loses his ability to perceive the world in three dimensions. To compensate these disorders the brain begins to “ignore” the images coming from the squinting eye and consequently this eye is excluded from the visual process (then occurs amblyopia or “lazy eye”).

Causes of strabismus

Strabismus is a result of many congenital or acquired pathologies. The main causes of strabismus are refractive anomalies (medium or high degree myopia or hyperopia), traumas, central and peripheral neural system disorders, paresis and oculomotor paralysis.

Diagnostics

Strabismus is diagnosed through a regular eye examination. However to choose an optimal treatment a comprehensive eye examination is required.

Strabismus Treatment

The sooner the treatment begins the better will be the results. The patient will see even worse with the eye excluded from the visual process with time. It is highly recommended not to delay the treatment.

Depending on the type of strabismus, patient’s age, health condition and other aspects, the patient may be recommended medical treatment (instrumental therapy), spectacle correction (choosing the right contact lenses), surgical treatment or combination of therapies.

In our clinic we use a great range of devices for an instrumental therapy: “Sinoptofor”, ophthalmic muscle training and relaxer device “Vizotronic”, devices “Spekl-M”, “Raduga”, “Mozaika”, “Monobioscop MBS-02”. Our specialists treat each case individually and indicate the most optimal and efficient therapy.
