A member asked:
When i was about 5, my eyes crossed, and i had an operation to fix them. how likely are my children to get that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Somewhat, genetics: Strabismus or eyes crossing does tend to run in families, but the genetics is not very clear cut. Your children should be checked regularly by a pediatric ophthalmologist.
