Comprehensive Eye Care
Experiencing eye discomfort or changes in vision?
Strabismus, commonly known as crossed eyes, is a condition where the eyes do not line up properly and point in different directions.

If left untreated, strabismus can lead to vision problems such as lazy eye (amblyopia). The good news is that with early diagnosis and treatment—such as glasses, eye exercises, or surgery—most children and adults with strabismus can achieve better eye alignment and improved vision.
