Strabismus in childhood

J S Elston et al. Br J Hosp Med. 1985 Jul.

Abstract

Strabismus is a common childhood disorder which is underdiagnosed and undertreated. A detectable squint at any age is abnormal and should be investigated to exclude significant ophthalmological or systemic disease. Early detection and treatment will enable normal and near-normal binocular functions to be achieved in many children.
