Convergent strabismus

Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes look in different directions rather than in the same direction. Strabismus can be caused by various factors, such as eye diseases, head injuries, or improper head posture. It can lead to vision problems and decreased quality of life. In this article, we look at strabismus convergence and its implications for eye health and well-being.

Ocular convergence is a mechanism that allows the eyes to focus on close objects. To do this, the eyes must move towards each other so that the points of view of both eyes coincide. With eye convergence, the eyes begin to move inward and move towards each other. This movement is called convergent movement. The convergent eye movement helps to focus vision on a nearby object.

If the eyes don't move enough to focus on a close object, ghosting can occur, where one eye sees two different images. This occurs because the misaligned eye will see partially or completely shut out of the visual system. If the eye does not move, then it sees only the left or right edge of the object, but not its center.

Convergence strabismus can also cause visual disturbances. This is because the eyes don't move enough to find the correct focus at close range. As a result, a person may have difficulty recognizing letters on the retina or have a distorted appearance of colors. In addition, convergence of strabismus can cause tension in the muscles of the face and neck
