A client recovering from a head injury has adult strabismus. This client would probably be referred for the most common treatment of adult strabismus, which is/are:
1. Eye muscle surgery.
2. Eye muscle exercises.
3. Botox injections.
4. Glasses.
Eye muscle surgery.
Rationale: Eye muscle surgery is the most common treatment. It is used to loosen or tighten the muscles around the eye in order to correct the misalignment. Eye muscle exercise is used when treating a form of adult strabismus called convergence insufficiency. Botox injections are an effective treatment when overactive eye muscles are causing strabismus. Prism eyeglasses can be used to correct mild double vision associated with adult strabismus.
