Children and strabismus: what to do?

Strabismus is a condition relatively common among very young children, so to speak, below the first year of life. The baby, in fact, up to 7-8 months has not yet acquired the perfect control of eye muscles and thus, problems may arise in binocular vision (the one in which both eyes are focused on a single object).
