Chocolate squint

chocolate smiley face on top of cappuccinoDon’t you love this squint? It almost looks like a wink, doesn’t it? Those of us with strabismus often squint in order to see, thus strabismus is also called “squint.”

I’ve used this photo before in a post entitled Enjoy your coffee!. But I liked it so well, I wanted to give it a re-run. I’ve selected it as a featured photo.

Yep, I agree, there isn’t much fun about strabismus. But next time you squint, remember the smiley-faced cappuccino with a squint. Perhaps it will put a smile in your heart also!

About Lois (admin)

I've lived with strabismus over half a century. Also called crossed eyes, lazy eye, turned eye, squint, double vision, wall eyes, floating, wandering, wayward, or drifting eyes, approximately 1 in every 25 to 50 people suffers from this condition. Strabismus not only affects vision. Many suffer social embarassment, lost job opportunities, and a host of other problems. Yet, living with eyes apart forces us to adapt, meet the challenge, and become stronger.
