Definitions

n.名词 noun
  1. 1

    Ophthalmology.

    • : a disorder of vision due to a deviation from normal orientation of one or both eyes so that both cannot be directed at the same object at the same time; squint; crossed eyes.

Examples

  • On the other hand, in concomitant strabismus, restriction of movement towards the opposite side not unfrequently develops itself.

  • Strabismus is present when one eye only is directed to the fixed point, while the visual line of the other eye deviates from it.

  • Thus it happens frequently in divergent strabismus, when one eye is myopic, the other emmetropic.

  • For near objects the myopic eye is used without accommodation and therefore also without convergent strabismus of the right.

  • It may, therefore, be useful for our purpose to cite a few cases of periodic convergent strabismus with emmetropia.
