👓 Strabismus, also known as crossed eyes or squint, is a condition where the eyes don’t align properly. There are several types of strabismus based on the direction of the misalignment and other characteristics.

Types of Strabismus

• Esotropia: One or both eyes turn inward toward the nose.
• Exotropia: One or both eyes turn outward away from the nose.
• Hypertropia: One eye turns upward relative to the other eye.
• Hypotropia: One eye turns downward relative to the other eye.

Other Classifications

• Concomitant strabismus: The amount of misalignment is the same in all directions of gaze.
• Incomitant strabismus: The amount of misalignment varies with the direction of gaze.
• Intermittent strabismus: The malignment occurs sometimes but not all the time.
