Overview

Strabismus and ocular motility disorders are conditions in which the eyes are misaligned or move abnormally because the muscles that control eye position and movement do not work together properly. In strabismus, the two eyes point in different directions, with one or both turning inward, outward, upward, or downward, either constantly or intermittently. Ocular motility disorders more broadly include any disturbance in the coordinated movement of the eyes, which may result from imbalance or weakness of the extraocular muscles, damage to the nerves that supply them, or problems in the brain regions that control gaze. These conditions can cause double vision, eye strain, and, particularly in children, can interfere with the development of normal binocular vision and lead to amblyopia, or reduced vision, in the misaligned eye. Evaluation involves assessing eye alignment, movement, and visual function, and management may include corrective lenses, prisms, vision therapy, or surgery on the eye muscles. Within ophthalmic science, strabismus and ocular motility disorders are studied as part of the broader investigation of vision, eye alignment, and the visual development of children. This page gathers definitional and scope context relevant to strabismus and ocular motility disorders within the ophthalmic literature.
