Strabismus Hidden

Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are misdirected, which can cause discomfort and difficulty reading, communicating and other activities. There are several types of strabismus, one of which is hidden strabismus. As a rule, hidden strabismus is associated with a violation of the extraocular muscles caused by various diseases, injuries or diseases of the eyes and nervous system.

Hidden strabismus is characterized by an asymmetrical arrangement of the eyeballs in relation to each other. This occurs because the muscles that control the eyes cannot fully control eye movement. As a result, some remain intact, such as the vertical muscles, which control up and down movements. The eyes move only in the horizontal plane, which leads to uneven placement of the eyeballs.

Symptoms of hidden strabismus may not be noticeable to those without special training, such as an ophthalmologist. However, hidden forms can lead to a number of negative consequences, including difficulty reading, loss of vision, headaches and increased eye fatigue.

The main cause of hidden strabismus is damage to the extraocular muscle, such as paralysis or injury to this muscle. Typically, damage occurs due to a disruption in the blood supply to the muscles or their prolonged spasm, which leads to their contraction. Other causes of hidden strabismus include heredity, abnormalities in brain or eye development, and infectious diseases.

Treatment for hidden strabismus depends on the cause. Most often, various conservative methods are required, such as drug therapy, physical therapy, visual exercises and treatment of the underlying disease that caused the strabismus. If conservative treatment is ineffective, then surgery may be proposed to restore the function of the extraocular muscles.

In general, hidden strabismus requires attention and regular examination by a doctor, especially if you have hereditary eye diseases, traumatic brain injuries, or systemic diseases.
