Strabismus Divergent

Strabismus is a vision problem that causes the eyeballs to deviate from the central axis. This occurs for a variety of reasons and can range from mild to severe problems with vision and function.

One type of strabismus is divergent strabismus. It is characterized by the fact that the eyes diverge from the center and the focal point is not located on the retina. According to statistics, about 38% of children with amblyopia suffer from divergent strabismus. Strabismus may also appear in adults.

Unlike other types of strabismus, which is often both oblique and divergent, divergence occurs only in one eye, while the other eye focuses normally. In this case, both eyes easily and quickly deviate. In some cases, if vertical misalignment or asymmetry persists by 2-3 years, one eye may begin to develop towards the other, forming another cross-eyed combination. Thus
