What is the difference of amblyopia and strabismus?
Amblyopia is commonly referred to as "lazy eye." It is a vision development disorder, where one eye fails to develop normal visual acuity. Eye patching is a common treatment for this disorder. Strabismus involves both eyes. In this case, the eyes fail to properly align with one another. Surgery and vision therapy are often used to correct this problem.

Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.
What is nystagmus?
Commonly, nystagmus is defined as rapid, repeated movements of the eyes. Clinically, physiological nystagmus is a type of eye movement characterized by alternating slow phase movements in one direction and Saccade-like quick phases in the other direction.
How do you catch strabismus?
Strabismus is not "caught". It is a disorder that starts in the brain, you cannot get it from anyone else. The brain controls the alignment of the eyes and sometimes may have a problem doing so, resulting in strabismus.
