Crossed Eyes Symptoms & Diagnosis

Symptoms

Symptoms may include:

• Double vision
• Crossed eyes
• Eyes that do not align properly
• Uncoordinated eye movements
• Squinting
• Favoring a head position

Diagnosis

The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. You should be examined by an ophthalmologist, who will test your visual acuity, measure your strabismus, examine your eye for other problems, and check for the need for glasses. You may also be given a neurologic exam and other tests to rule out other possible causes.
