understanding strabismus
Imagine trying to take a picture with two cameras, but they're not pointing in the same direction. That's a bit like strabismus, where your eyes decide they're not going to work as a team, leading one or both to look in different directions. This can make things like catching a ball or reading a book trickier than it should be because your eyes aren't syncing up to give you a clear, single image. It's not just a cosmetic thing; it's about how you see the world. Strabismus is your eyes telling you they need a bit of help to get aligned.
simple, at home treatments for strabismus
Eye Exercises: Just like any other part of your body, your eyes can benefit from exercises. There are specific routines designed to strengthen your eye muscles and improve coordination. Think of it as a gym session for your eyes to help them work better together.
​
Patch Therapy: Covering the stronger eye with a patch can encourage the weaker eye to step up its game. It's like giving the underdog a chance to shine, helping to balance out the strength and coordination between your eyes.
​
Screen Time Breaks: Too much screen time can strain your eyes, especially if you're dealing with strabismus. Taking regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds) can help reduce eye strain and fatigue.
