Scotoma Bilateral

Bilateral scatoma or alternating strabismus is a congenital pathology in which one eye is deviated to one side or another relative to the other. In this case, the eye stops developing, remains small and is fixed in a forced position. Bilateral strabismus is characterized by the fact that in the case of binocular vision, both eyes function, but one of them looks past the picture or does not control it, while the other functions normally. A person perceives objects fragmentarily, only with part of the visual field of each eye, and double-eyedness is accompanied by a violation of normal spatial orientation and contrast sensitivity. A person diagnosed with this disease has impaired ability to control vision. Because of this, some information about the surrounding world is not perceived, and the muscles responsible for visual functions gradually atrophy. There are two main causes of bilateral strabismus. The most common type is congenital bilateral scotoma. Another reason for the development of the pathological condition is injuries to the head or central nervous system, strokes, surgeries and other diseases.
