		<description><![CDATA[The following item is edited from a letter posted by shayla last month in our Eyes Apart Strabismus Support group. It&#8217;s hard for some people to accept being referred to as having &#8220;lazy eyes.&#8221; We know that strabismus eyes work much harder than normal eyes. Shayla used this term about herself with confidence, and she [...]]]></description>

So we&#8217;ve had a face lift! I hope you&#8217;ll find our site easier to use and more helpful than ever. I&#8217;m still tweaking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those of us who have strabismus do not like to be referred to as having a lazy eye. We are not lazy. Because our eyes don&#8217;t work right, we often have to work much harder to accomplish a task than those who have normal vision. But if any form of strabismus could be referred to [...]]]></description>

But telling me not to stare just confirmed to me that this person was &#8220;odd.&#8221; Yet subconsciously I wondered, &#8220;Are they different inside also? What do they feel, [...]]]></description>

But it doesn&#8217;t have to be that way. Today, eye care professionals benefit from years of research how to best treat strabismus. Both professionals and volunteers [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s never been a major issue for me, as my biggest concern has been the vision disturbances caused by strabismus.
