Crossed Eyes - How Can it Be Treated?

Crossed eye occurs when your eyes are not able to align correctly. Crossed eye, also called as strabismus in medical terms, most often occurs in children. It happens when the brain and the eye muscles stop communicating correctly as a result of which eyes get skewed. Intermittent strabismus is common among babies under six months of age wherein they suffer from infrequent crossed eye.

If it is left untreated the condition can deteriorate gradually leading to many other physical conditions like double vision, frustration, headache etc. Besides this, there is also a high risk of nearsightedness in children suffering from strabismus.
