Editing Strabismus (section)

== Prognosis ==
When strabismus is congenital or develops in infancy, it can cause [[amblyopia]], in which the brain ignores input from the deviated eye. Even with therapy for amblyopia, [[stereoblindness]] may occur. The appearance of strabismus may also be a [[Beauty|cosmetic]] problem. One study reported 85% of adults with strabismus "reported that they had problems with work, school, and sports because of their strabismus." The same study also reported 70% said strabismus "had a negative effect on their [[self-image]]."<ref>{{cite web|title=Treatment for "lazy eye" is more than cosmetic |website=Scribe/Alum Notes |publisher=Wayne State University |date=Spring 2001 |url=http://www.med.wayne.edu/Scribe/scribe00-01/scribesp01/baker-strabismus.htm |archive-date=June 26, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626120545/http://www.med.wayne.edu/Scribe/scribe00-01/scribesp01/baker-strabismus.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>{{Unreliable medical source|date=May 2017|sure=y}} A second operation is sometimes required to straighten the eyes.<ref name=vaughan />{{Page needed|date=May 2017}}
