Abstract

Maintaining healthy binocular vision is paramount for perceiving the world accurately. Strabismus, a common condition where the eyes are misaligned, particularly affecting children, poses risks such as amblyopia. Despite its global prevalence, misconceptions persist, leading to delayed treatment, often for cosmetic reasons. Understanding the health beliefs and delay treatment on individuals with strabismus is crucial for developing preventive measures and enhancing overall eye health. This literature review investigates the correlation between strabismus and health beliefs, exploring delays in treatment and the multifaceted factors influencing patient decisions.
