What Is Transient Strabismus?

Just like strabismus (or tropia), intermittent (sometimes referred to as transient) strabismus is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned with each other. However, unlike constant strabismus, the condition is only evident intermittently (not all the time).

What causes intermittent strabismus?

Intermittent esotropia is a type of strabismus that causes the eye to turn inward. This type of strabismus can often be controlled for most of the day. However, it most frequently occurs during stressful situations or prolonged near vision activities.

Does Pseudostrabismus go away?

Pseudostrabismus is very common in babies, and most will outgrow this condition.
