Concomitant (or common) strabismus occurs when the angle of deviation of the eyes remains constant independent of the direction of gaze and includes those conditions listed in the table below.

We are commencing research in collaboration with Department of Ophthalmology and the General Clinical Research Center at Children's Hospital Boston to identify disease and susceptibility genes for these forms of strabismus and hope this work will lead to identification of individuals at risk, improve our ability to detect and prevent amblyopia (reduced vision in a healthy eye) and loss of binocular vision, and provide insight into the pathogenesis of these common disorders.
