Because the evaluation and treatment of strabismus accounts for a large portion of the practice of pediatric ophthalmology, most pediatric ophthalmologists also treat adults with strabismus (eye muscle) disorders. Even adults who have been told they are too "old" for treatment or who have had many previous strabismus surgeries can often be helped. 

 The doctors at Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics are available to evaluate and treat adults with strabismus. Treatment may include prism glasses and other nonsurgical modalities. 

All surgical options are also available including the use of Botox and muscle transposition techniques for the most complex problems.

Strabismus consultations can be performed at Children's Mercy Hospital regardless of patient age. For those adults that require surgery, there are several adult facilities where surgery can be performed.
