title: A sequential strategy for achieving functional binocularity in strabismus.
abstract: The clinical approach to achieving functional binocularity for constant strabismus includes a series of sequential steps utilizing several therapy options. Passive therapy includes lenses, prisms, filters, occlusion, medications and strabismus surgery. Active therapy adds visual exercises and/or self-monitoring systems such as biofeedback. Consideration of commonly used options and an overall sequential strategy is presented as a practical guide to the successful management of strabismic patients.
