“…Subsequently, surgery would improve patient's head posture, expand and centralize the visual field, restore vision acuity, and eliminate diplopia. [24][25][26][27][28] Importantly, the normal appearance of the patient would be restored and, therefore, this would enhance his/her self-esteem and the overall quality of life. However, the base thoughts of the parents related to performing surgical operations to their child may render a significant delay in presentation.…”

Background: To assess the knowledge, awareness, and perception about strabismus and related disease dimensions among the parents and companions of children attending the pediatrics and ophthalmology clinic. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out between 01 January and 31 July 2017 including the companions of children having strabismus who attended the Pediatrics and Ophthalmology clinics. A semi-structured questionnaire was developed to collect data. Results: The study included 474 companions of children (69.8% females). Knowledge about strabismus definition was correctly identified in 61.1%-74.6% of the participants. Heredity was the most frequently identified etiology (68.9%), followed by trauma (61.3%). Regarding treatment options, 63.6%, 60.6% and 47.8% of the participants correctly identified glasses, surgery and eye muscle exercise as possible options to treat strabismus, respectively. Most frequent knowledge sources were relatives and friends (69.8%) and the internet and social media (56.3%). Parents' role was highly appreciated as perceived by the participants, particularly for early detection (93.4%), diagnosis (92.0%), compliance with treatment (94.7%) and follow-up (92.4%). Both genders showed moderate knowledge about strabismus with a significantly higher level of knowledge in female participants (P=0.001). The Educational level had no impact on such parameter. Conclusion: There is high awareness level about different strabismus dimensions but with several misconceptions related to its psychosocial and economic consequences, a matter which could impact parent's vigilance and involvement in the therapeutic and preventive programs. It is necessary to target information messages and awareness programs in a comprehensive manner to all populations without an educational-based discrimination.

“…Other advantages of strabismus correction include improvement in abnormal head posture,[1–3] expansion of visual field,[45] restoration of stereo acuity,[6–8] centralization of visual field,[9] elimination of diplopia,[1011] improvement of ocular motility,[12–14] improvement in the psychomotor development[15] and restoration of normal appearance.…”

Purpose:To compare the psychosocial consequences of horizontal comitant strabismus in children between the families of urban and rural India.Materials and Methods:In this cohort study, an eight-question quality-of-life instrument was administered by trained staff to the guardians of strabismic children from rural and urban areas by a live interview.Results:This study included 93 strabismic-children aged 4-16 years of which 52 were females. Forty-one had esodeviation and 52 had exodeviation. Seventy per cent parents were extremely distressed due to squint, 65% were extremely distressed due to people's remarks, 65% were extremely worried, 55% children were extremely distressed due to people's remarks, 57% children were severely ostracized, 38% had severe difficulty in communication and 50% had difficulty to cope; 64% parents were not advised a corrective surgery. The difference between families from rural and urban areas, or whether a male child was affected or a female child or for an esodeviation or an exodeviation was statistically not significant. The questionnaire had a good internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.71).Conclusions:There was a significant negative psychosocial and emotional impact of childhood strabismus that was not affected by the rural or urban location of the family or the gender of the strabismic child or type of the deviation. The quality-of-life instrument can be used as part of the clinical examination for strabismic children.
