Experts don’t completely understand the cause of strabismus, but it results from the failure of the eye muscles to work together.

Idiopathic (resulting from an unknown cause) strabismus is the most common type. Other conditions can also cause strabismus such as:

• Duane syndrome
• Moebius syndrome
• Thyroid eye disease
• Nerve damage
• Cerebral injuries
• Fracture of the orbital wall
