What causes crossed-eyes?

0

Coordination of your eyes and their ability to work together as a team develops in early childhood. Failure of your eyes (or more precisely, your eye muscles) to coordinate together properly can lead to crossed-eyes. Excessive eye focusing effort in children who are farsighted can also result in crossed-eyes. Crossed-eyes also have a tendency to be hereditary.

Crossed eyes (strabismus) occur when the eyes are not aligned properly with one another. The most common causes are severe hyperopia and lack of good muscle control. Crossed eyes effect 5% of all children. Sometimes a patch will be worn over one of the eyes.
