Strabismus is a visual problem in which the eyes are not aligned properly and point in different directions. Strabismus is a failure of the two eyes to maintain proper alignment and work together as a team. If you have strabismus, one eye looks directly at the object you are viewing, while the other eye is misaligned inward (“crossed eyes” or “cross-eyed”), outward (“wall-eyed”), upward or downward.
