definition of medial strabismus
Find information on thousands of medical conditions and prescription drugs. Strabismus, also known as heterotropia, squint, crossed eye, wandering eye, or wall eyed, is a disorder in which the eyes do not point in the same direction. It typically involves a lack of coordination between the extraocular muscles which prevents bringing the gaze of each eye to the same point in space, preventing proper binocular vision, which may adversely affect depth perception.
