Q: Strabismus and child delivery

asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 31st, 2009

I had a strabismus surgery 3 years ago. I have had lazy eyes since I was born. The problem was partially solved butI I still have to wear glasses. I am seven months pregnant and I wonder whether the child delivery will make the problem worse.

Strabismus is a disorder in which the eyes are not aligned properly with each other. Since the main problem is a lack of coordination between the eye muscles, the pregnancy does not affect their function and thus can not affect the strabismus.
