Let's Get To Know More About Strabismus

`

Strabismus is an eye disorder which is also known as squint-eyed or cross-eyed. Crossed eyes are characterized by a deviation in the position of the eyeballs, so that both eyeballs are unable to see one object at the same time. This eye disease keeps one eye straight while the other eye is pointed in a different direction.

 

Crossed eyes can occur in both children and adults, and can be caused by a variety of underlying causes. What might have caused crossed eyes? What are the symptoms and signs of the crossed eyes? Can crossed eyes be cured?

 

The Department of Promosi Kesehatan Rumah Sakit (PKRS) of Sanglah Hospital presents "NGUSIK" or “Ngobrol Untuk Sehat dengan Gaya Asik” to discuss more about the problem of crossed eyes. This program also presented our Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus ophthalmologist, dr. Ni Made Ayu Surasmiati, M.Biomed, Sp.M(K) and guided by dr. Winly who is one of the student in Ophthalmology Program, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University.
