Causes: Vertical Strabismus

Vertical Strabismus happens when the eye muscles are imbalanced and do n’t work together.
The most common cause is weakness (called paralysis) in the neuron in the brain that control eye movement.
Some other causes
• Stroke
• Thyroid disorder 
• Eye injury
• Neurological diseases 

Treatment: Vertical Strabismus

• Spectacles: Lenses that correct any near- or vision can help better misalignment of the eyes. Also, prism can be added to spectacles to help with alignment of the eyes.
• Patching: Muscles, including the eye muscle, get stronger when they’re consistently worked. Placing a patch over the strong eye for a specified number of hours a day will encourage the wear and tear to use the weaker eye, thereby strengthening it and conceively perfecting vision.
• Surgery: A trained surgeon can strengthen weak eye muscles and loosen tight bones to bring the eyes into alignment. Ocassionally there might be overcorrection, still, and surgeries may need to be repeated.
