Strabismus Divergent

Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes do not look in the same direction. This occurs due to an imbalance between the muscles that move the eyeball and those that rotate it. There are many different types of strabismus, and each of them requires an individual approach and treatment.

Strabismus, known as divergent strabismus, is one of the most common types. With divergent strabismus, one eye deviates from the horizon while the other remains straight. This type most often occurs in children and adolescents due to weakness of the eye muscles or other problems with eye development.

Symptoms of divergent strabismus can include various manifestations, such as visible deviation of one eye along the horizontal or vertical axis. The other eye may be turned inward or outward, or directed towards the nasal or temporal part of the face.

How can you prevent the occurrence of such a complex disease as strabismus? One of the important factors is proper nutrition, which helps strengthen the muscles of the eye apparatus. Also, the child should be given more vitamin A. It is important that the child plays sports, plays outdoor games, and moves a lot. Then the eye muscles will become stronger. If you suspect divergent strabismus, the child must be shown to an ophthalmologist.
