Strabismus could be a tough thing to handle for some. I had strabismus when I was a child and with patching (and wearing plus lenses for years) I was able to straighten my eyes and benefit from binocularity. to answer your question. Strabismus is genetic. I have read in several places that its rate of pacing it to your offsprings is around 40%. So please get your next childs eyes examined by a qualified optometrist as soon as possible and as often as possible. Early intervention is the BEST thing for children with strabismus. Hope that helps. And please try searching with keywords such as "Strabismus genetic" to find better answers to this question. Hello,

( it was worse before the surgery ) Anyways, I m really happy I found this website ,because all I m concern about is the fct that strabismus is genetic. I have a daughter who is 8 and seems to have good eyes except astigmatism, I m afraid my second child will get it from me. Can I ask the members who have kids if their kids have it or not, I know noone can tell by sure if we pass it to our kids or not, but I m just doing my own study to see what is the chance of it. Members reply will help me a lot. Hi,
