"I'm sure it's genetic in my case because two of my three paternal aunts are strabismic. However, my dad and his sisters don't know if any of their aunts, uncles or grandparents had the same condition. My sister isn't strabismic…"

"Hi Traci,    I believe that we have genetics that help us or guide development if certain environmental factors are present.    With strabismus there has been shown to be a genetic component. I believe if we fail to develop…"

Is Strabismus a Genetic/Inherited Eye Disorder?

To all the wonderful and wise Dr.s and fellow strabismus patients out there, I have a question: Is Strabismus a Genetic / Inherited Eye Disorder? I was born with infantile esotropia, and I'm currently 8 1/2 months pregnant with my first child.  I'm wondering what the "odds" are that my child will carry the same genetic trait for strabismus.  Are there extra steps (i.e. earlier eye exams) that I should take with this child to monitor his/her eye alignment and/or binocular vision?  Any insight or…See More

"Dear Traci, Like the others, I experienced some nausea with VT but not all the time.  It may be good to keep a record of when the nausea is at its worst to see if you can correlate specific activities with the nausea. Also, do you wear…"

Welcome Traci! Be sure to join the "Adult Strabismic Patients' Forum" a space I created where we can discuss our unique vision therapy issues and learn from one another and other ODs.

I love dancing too! It's a beautiful thing to feel our way through space. Oh to see that space some day ... :-)
