Patient's question:
Will the baby become cross-eyed by looking at the crib mobile?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus, also known as "esotropia," is another form of misalignment. Due to their young age, children's muscles that regulate eye movement are not yet coordinated. Therefore, most infants will experience strabismus or asymmetrical eye movement, but this usually disappears after three months. Especially as facial bones develop, this condition gradually resolves. Most cases of infantile strabismus are temporary. If it does not improve by the age of 3-4, it is advisable to visit an ophthalmologist for examination and treatment, using surgical or non-surgical methods to correct it.
