what is "STRABIMUS"?

Answer 1

Strabismus can be caused by weak or paralysed muscles in the eye socket, resulting in the eye turning more in one direction than the other or in focusing problems. Strabismus in children should be a matter of great concern since it can cause amblyopia (lazy eye) wherein the brain refuses to acknowledge the weak signals sent out from the afflicted eye resulting in partial or total loss of vision in that eye. If detected early, strabismus can be corrected by eye exercises, eyeglasses, eye patches, prisms, surgery or a combination of these methods

Answer 2

Strabismus is a disorder of the alignment of the eyes where one eye does not turn normally and so the person's gaze appears to become crosseyed or divergent.

See the wiki page

This is also sometimes called "a squint" or "a lazy eye", or being "wall eyed".

It occurs commonly - 5 in every 100 US citizens are affected (according to emedicine) and if it occurs in the infant age-group can give rise to a condition called Amblyopia - where the brain receives conflicting images and then ignores the image of the "lazy eye". To prevent this, paediatricians will have a patch applied to the GOOD eye to force the brain to see with the lazy eye. In some circumstances, corrective surgery is needed.
