Abstract
Strabismus, commonly known as eyes or squint is a condition in which the eyes do not properly align with each other. Apparent strabismus can be a result of various underlying factors, including refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This essay explores the relationship between apparent strabismus and different types of refractive errors. The methodology involves a literature review of relevant research articles and studies. The results indicate a significant correlation between certain types of refractive errors and apparent strabismus. The discussion delves into the implications of these findings for clinical practice and treatment strategies. In conclusion, understanding the relationship between apparent strabismus and refractive errors is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of the condition.
