10 Angelman Syndrome Symptoms
Symptom #6: Strabismus
Strabismus is a condition of the eyes where both eyes do not align properly when looking at one object. If present in childhood, it can lead to amblyopia or loss of depth perception. Onset of strabismus during adulthood tends to result in double vision.
Strabismus can occur due to a number of several conditions such as farsightedness, issues in the brain, trauma, muscle dysfunction, infections, premature birth, and more. It can also be observed among those with Angelman syndrome. The treatment of strabismus ultimately depends on the underlying cause. Options include the use of glasses, surgery, and more.
