STRABISMUS SURSUM VERGENS Meaning and Definition

1. Strabismus sursum vergens is a medical condition characterized by the misalignment of the eyes where one eye deviates upward while the other maintains its normal position. This condition is commonly known as hypertropia or vertical strabismus. The affected eye appears to be higher than the unaffected eye, resulting in a noticeable disparity in eye alignment.

   Strabismus sursum vergens can present at birth or develop later in life due to various factors such as eye muscle weakness or palsy, trauma, or underlying medical conditions. Individuals with this condition may experience symptoms such as double vision, eyestrain, and problems with depth perception. They may also have tilt head posturing as an adaptive mechanism to alleviate the visual disturbances caused by the misalignment.

   Treatment for strabismus sursum vergens aims to restore proper eye alignment and improve binocular vision. This may include non-surgical interventions such as vision therapy, prism glasses, or eye patches, which help strengthen the eye muscles and correct the misalignment. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be required to reposition the eye muscles and align the eyes properly. Regular eye examinations and follow-up care are essential to monitor progress and prevent any associated vision problems.

   Understanding and promptly addressing strabismus sursum vergens is crucial to minimize visual disruptions and potential long-term effects on vision and quality of life. Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve eye alignment, visual function, and overall well-being for individuals affected by this condition.

2. Vertical squint, in which the visual axis of one eye deviates upward.
