Exotropia treatment in Aguascalientes

Divergent strabismus is an alteration of eye alignment in which one or both eyes deviate outward, so that the gazes do not point at the same spot at the same time.

Frequent symptoms: visible deviation of an eye, double vision, eye strain, squinting, or tilting the head to focus better.

Common causes: it is usually related to an imbalance in the muscles that move the eye or to problems in how the brain coordinates both gazes; it can appear from childhood or later on.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who studies and follows up on this condition, supported by the optometrist's assessment to measure vision. If you notice that one eye deviates or double vision appears, it is a good idea to schedule a timely vision review that provides guidance on the steps to follow.
