Throughout the development, different strategies can be generated to help children with strabismus . There are children who are more skilled and will cost less, but children who are less skilled, will have to make a superior effort to do certain types of coordination tasks and will always be superior to any other children who do not have strabismus.It is also common for children with strabismus to be more tired at the end of the day because of the effort they have to make when they receive only information from one of the eyes, that their eyes sting, that they get irritated.
