Eye misalignment can occur in a variety of ways: eyes can be drifting to the side, crossing in, offset upwards or downwards, or even rotated abnormally. These strabismus conditions require careful evaluation and treatment by a pediatric ophthalmologist. You can learn more about strabismus in the videos to the right.

Amblyopia(Sample text, to be edited) Amblyopia is incomplete vision development. When children are born, their vision development is not yet complete. In the first ten years of life or so it is essential that the light entering a child's eyes is clearly focused so the child can develop good vision. There are many causes of incomplete vision development in children. The eye is like a camera, with a system of lenses in the front that focus light onto the retina which is the seeing part of the eye, like the film in the camera. Vision can be blurred by anything in the eyes that blocks the normal path of light as it enters or passes through the eye. Vision can also be blurred by imperfections of the light focusing system of the eye. Amblyopia can also result from misalignment of the eyes.
