In summary:

• Children with strabismus do not outgrow the condition.
• Treatment for strabismus may be non-surgical and include eye drops or glasses.
• If surgical treatment is indicated, it is wise to align the eyes when the child is young in order to allow more normal use of the eyes together.

Besides the conditions mentioned above in children, there are certain disorders in adults which are associated with strabismus. These include:
• Thyroid disease
• After cataract surgery
• After retinal detachment surgery
• Myasthenia Gravis
• Paralysis of eye muscles due to Diabetes and Hypertension
