Adult Strabismus and Double Vision

Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes are not aligned. In adults, the most common symptom is double vision, as each eye sends a different image to the brain.

Double vision may make reading, driving and other visual tasks difficult.

Strabismus can also influence appearance and eye contact. The eyes are a central feature of facial symmetry, and even small differences in eye alignment may affect facial balance.

For many adults, both visual function and appearance are important considerations.

Common symptoms include:

  • double vision
  • blurred vision
  • eye strain
  • headaches
  • difficulty focusing
  • an eye turning inward or outward

Adult strabismus may occur due to:

  • childhood strabismus persisting into adulthood
  • recurrence after previous surgery
  • nerve palsies affecting eye movement
  • thyroid eye disease
  • trauma
  • neurological conditions

Assessment typically involves:

  • measurement of eye alignment
  • binocular vision testing
  • evaluation of eye movements
  • examination of the retina and optic nerve

Research has shown that adult strabismus can affect both visual function and quality of life.

Studies published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology have highlighted the importance of considering quality-of-life outcomes when evaluating treatment.
