Vision plays a critical role in learning, social interactions, and overall development, yet many parents in San Gabriel don’t realize just how essential early eye care is.

The Role of Vision Therapy in Treating Strabismus

Strabismus, commonly known as "crossed eyes," is a condition where the eyes do not align properly. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other eye focuses on a target. This misalignment can cause problems with depth perception, double vision, and even vision loss if left untreated. Fortunately, advances in eye care have made treatment options like vision therapy highly effective in addressing strabismus. At Vizen Optometric Center, we help patients regain visual alignment and function through personalized treatment plans.
