AB A  5-month-old  infant  is  brought  to  your  office  by  her  mother.  The  mother  reports  that  the  child  has  a  “lazy  eye.”  On  further  inquiry,  the  mother  describes  a  1-month  history  of  the  child’s  eyes  turning  inward  toward  the  nose.  This  occurs  intermittently  and  is  not  noticed  by  the  child’s  father.  The  mother  shows  several  photographs  that  are  inconclusive.  The  infant’s  maternal  uncle  had  strabismus  surgery  as  a  child.  On  examination,  the  infant  protests  when  either  eye  is  covered,  and  seems  to  have  an  inward  deviation  of  the  right  eye,  more  pronounced  when  looking  to  the  left  (Figures  15-1  A,B,C).  The  patient  is  able  to  move  the  eyes  easily  in  all  directions.
