What is the condition caused by unequal tension exerted extrinsic eye muscle?

The unequal tension exerted by the extrinsic eye muscles can lead to a condition called strabismus, commonly referred to as "crossed eyes" or "wall-eyed." In strabismus, the eyes are not properly aligned, and one eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward. This misalignment can cause various visual problems and impact depth perception. Strabismus can affect individuals at any age, but it is often diagnosed in childhood. Various factors can contribute to the development of strabismus, including muscle imbalances, nerve palsy, disorders affecting the brain and eye muscles, and certain medical conditions. Treatment options for strabismus may include corrective lenses, vision therapy, or surgery to realign the eyes and restore proper eye movement.
