i am a 21 years old and am a medical student. i have strabsmus on my right eye(turned inward) plus its vision is weaker. moreover when i patch the healthy eye-left one,it regain its normal position. 1-is it congenital /acquired condition? 2-does it have tx?
Hello It seems from the history that you are having deviation of the eyes called as squint. Since the right eye is turned inwards it indicates esotropia. Since it is present for long time it is usually congenital in origin. The acquired type is because of nerve palsies and it will be associated with limitation of the eye movements and presence of double vision. The treatment of congenital squint is usually by squint surgery. Hence I advice you to consult your oculoplastic surgeon for corrective squint surgery.
Thank you
