Strabismus (/strəˈbɪzməs/ from Greek strabismós) also known as heterotropia is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned with each other. It typically involves a lack of coordination between the extraocular muscles which prevents bringing the gaze of each eye to the same point in space and thus hampers proper binocular vision and which may adversely affect depth perception. Strabismus is primarily managed by ophthalmologists optometrists and orthoptists.
