For those of you who have always termed this "half past one", "half past six", quarter to three".e. t. c. Its not called any of those but STRABISMUS(tropia)....



Strabismus is a visual problem in which the eyes are not aligned properly and point in different directions. One eye may look straight ahead, while the other eye turns inward, outward, upward, or downward. The eye turn may be consistent, or it may come and go.




Six different muscles surround each eye and
work "as a team." This allows both eyes to focus on the same object.

In someone with strabismus, these muscles do not work together. As a result, one eye looks at one object, while the other eye turns in a different direction to focus on another object.

When this occurs, two different images are sent to the brain -- one from each eye. This confuses the brain. In children, the brain may learn to ignore (suppress) the image from the weaker eye.......Suppression and confusion may set in.




Before the age of 21 a strabismic patient can be trained or undergo surgery to help realign the eyes to prevent amblyopia....The best and first thing to do upon noticing this is to see ur eye doctor as soon as possible.

Yes, that's because of the two dissimilar images that'll be formed which was clearly stated in the write up above... ... Amblyopia becomes inevitable.
