Calling Your Health Care Provider

Strabismus requires prompt medical evaluation. Call for an appointment with your health care provider or eye doctor if your child exhibits any of the following:

Complains of double vision
Has difficulty seeing
Appears to be cross-eyed
The eyes do not appear to fix on the same point

Also call if there are academic problems which could possibly be related to the child being unable to see the blackboard or reading material.
