Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of a deviated gaze typically involves a comprehensive eye exam. This can include tests to measure the alignment of the eyes, visual acuity, and eye movement. In some cases, imaging tests such as a CT Scan or MRI may be used to identify any underlying conditions causing the deviated gaze.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for a deviated gaze depends on the underlying cause. This can include medications, surgery, or vision therapy. In some cases, a combination of treatments may be used.
