In younger children, up to 6 or 8months, inability to coordinate exactly the movements of both eyes while fixingsome object, leads to the appearance of a divergent motion may suggest theexistence of strabismus. If this difference persists after this period, we mustthink seriously about the possibility of a squint. It is therefore necessary togo to the optometrist to establish an adequate therapy.
In fact, the risk posed by thestrabismus is due to the lack of convergence of the eyeballs prevents correctimage fusion, that makes objects look "double" (double vision).
The child reacts by suppressingghosting and using only the one that gives the eye normally aligned. Thepersistence of this phenomenon leads, ultimately, not to use the visual eye amblyopiaunused. This divergence can be avoided only if corrected in time, covering thenormal eye to force the other to perform its function.
