What happens in the brain🧠 🧠

When a person has strabismus (commonly called "crossed eyes" or "squint"), the brain receives two different images from each eye because the eyes are not aligned. This causes confusion and difficulty in combining both images into a single, clear, 3D picture. Here's what happens in the brain.

Double vision:
At first, especially in adults or newly acquired strabismus, the brain sees two separate images one from each eye. This is called diplopia (double vision). It’s disorienting and uncomfortable.

Suppression:
In children, the brain often adapts by suppressing (turning off) the image from the misaligned eye to avoid double vision. This stops the confusion.

Have you ever looked someone in the eye and felt like something was off?
Like they were looking past you, or their eyes weren’t in the same direction? (This is called strabismus or squint)

This week, we’re exposing the truths about strabismus:

Why do eyes go in different directions?

What happens inside the brain?

Can a child really go blind in one eye without pain, without anyone noticing?

And yes can it be fixed?

I’m truly sorry for being away for so long. Life happened but thank you for staying. Your quiet support means everything.

If you spend a lot of time at the computer or focusing on one thing, you sometime forget to blink and your eyes can get fatigue.

Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds. This short exercise can help reduce eyestrain.
