Strabismus (Crossed Eyes) Treatment in Tustin, California

Medically reviewed by Dr. Alexander Bonakdar, O.D. · Updated February 2026

Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. One eye may look straight ahead while the other turns in, out, up, or down.

Tustin parents should know that school vision screenings miss many cases of strabismus (crossed eyes). A full pediatric eye examination tests visual function that pass/fail screenings cannot assess.
