Strabismus is an eye disorder that occurs when the eyes are not aligned in a parallel position. While one eye focuses on a point, the other deviates in a different direction, which can affect visual perception and coordination between both eyes.

It may appear constantly or intermittently, and can involve one or both eyes. Strabismus is most common in childhood but can also develop in adults due to neurological, traumatic, or muscular causes. Early detection is key to preventing further visual complications.
