Strabismus (squint)

Strabismus is an eye disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. The eye that is pointed at an object can alternate. The condition may be present occasionally or constantly. If present during a large part of childhood, it may result in amblyopia and loss of depth perception. If onset is during adulthood, it is more likely to result in double vision.
