Apparent strabismus

Apparent strabismus is a condition in which one or both eyes look primarily sideways or slant outward, but they appear to be looking at the same point. This can be caused by various reasons, such as underdevelopment of the visual system, heredity, and head or eye injury. Apparent strabismus usually affects children under 2 years of age, and this problem disappears after the child begins to walk. However, in some cases, strabismus can remain for life.

One of the most common medical explanations for this pathology is related to a disorder associated with decreased functionality or inferiority of the part of the eyeball that is involved in eye movement. For example, if a child has damaged muscles responsible for eye movement, this can lead to strabismus. Also, some children have hidden strabismus, which can be very difficult to diagnose. Such children have strabismus, but they do not have a normal image, since the eyes cannot move in a coordinated manner. Sometimes these children don't even have proper vision. They may become depressed when
