Strabismus (eye misalignment) treatment and surgery are among the most specialized and delicate fields in ophthalmology. Dr. Abram Ernest has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating all types of strabismus in both children and adults. The goal of treatment is to restore eye alignment, improve binocular vision, and enhance facial appearance using the latest medical and surgical techniques. Treatment options vary depending on each case — from corrective glasses and eye muscle exercises to vision therapy or microsurgical correction of the eye muscles. These procedures are performed safely, ensuring the patient regains both functional and aesthetic eye balance without complications.
Common Symptoms of Strabismus
- Noticeable or intermittent inward or outward deviation of one or both eyes.
- Difficulty focusing or experiencing double vision.
- Tilting the head while looking or reading.
- Reduced vision in one eye (lazy eye or amblyopia).
- Eye strain or headaches after prolonged visual focus.
- Eye misalignment noticeable in photos or under bright light.

What Happens If Strabismus Is Left Untreated?
Neglecting strabismus treatment can lead to permanent lazy eye (amblyopia), especially in children, resulting in reduced depth perception and poor binocular vision. Adults may experience chronic eye strain, double vision, and headaches, as well as emotional or social challenges due to visible misalignment. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to prevent these complications and achieve long-term visual and psychological well-being.
