Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent give general information on strabismus, stress early assessment for children, route sudden-onset cases in adults to urgent care, and help people find eye specialists.

A condition in which the eyes do not align properly when looking at an object, so one eye turns inward, outward, upward or downward, from childhood squints to paralytic strabismus caused by nerve or muscle disorders and rarer syndromes; it can affect vision development in children and cause double vision in adults, and is treatable.

What it is for: An eye alignment condition needing assessment.

It can be explain types and causes in general terms; stress early assessment in children; recognise urgent sudden-onset cases; find eye care specialists.

Distinguishing features

Eye misalignment

Childhood or acquired

Affects binocular vision

Treatable with glasses, patching, exercises or surgery

What it looks like

Visible misalignment of the eyes, constant or intermittent.

How it is recognised

One eye turning in or out

Head tilt or squinting

Pseudostrabismus in infants can mimic it
