“…The study demonstrated that quality of life is significantly worse in strabismus. Many studies in past have shown results on similar lines [17][18]. These studies attribute this reduced quality of life to just not only the functional impairments caused by strabismus, but also due to psychosocial disturbances caused by bullying or cosmetic disfigurement caused by strabismus [18].…”

Background/Context: Strabismus is a condition that results in loss of self esteem and affects quality of life due to the changes it may cause in facial appearance and other factors. There is a dearth of Indian literature on children and adolescents with strabismus. The current study analyzed self esteem and quality of life in children and adolescents with strabismus. Methods: Children and adolescents between 6-17 years attending the ophthalmology out-patient department of a tertiary general hospital and their normal siblings were identified and assessed after parental consent using a semi-structured proforma and the KINDL questionnaire. The results were statistically analyzed and presented. Results: 35 children and adolescents with strabismus were compared to 38 siblings who were the controls. It was seen that children and adolescents with strabismus scored lower on family and social contacts quality of life scores on all subscales of the KINDL questionnaire. However, self-esteem did not differ across both groups. Conclusion: Further larger studies in diverse populations are needed to corroborate the effects of strabismus on self esteem and quality of life.

Strabismus congenital or aquired deviation of eye position may lead to severe psychosocial problems in childhood and puberty. Depression, interpersonal difficulties in relationships, abuse and mistreatment in school, work, sports and play and feelings of sadness as well as inferiority might be due to deviation of one or both eyes. Consequent ophthalmic examination are necessary to detect and treat strabismus to provide affected children a healthy and happy childhood.

“…Additionally, patients with strabismus may be more easily to have emotional problems, such as low self-esteem, fragile interpersonal relations, school bullying, social prejudice, increased social anxiety and decreased job opportunity resulted from their abnormal facial appearance (Durnian et al 2011). These negative effects of strabismus could make profound influences on the emotional development and reduce their quality of lives (Durnian et al 2011;Ribeiro Gde et al 2014;Chang et al 2015).…”

The effect of maternal smoking during pregnancy on strabismus in offspring remains unclear. We conducted a meta‐analysis to summarize epidemiological evidences on the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and the risk of offspring strabismus. Eligible studies were searched from the PubMed, Ovid, Embase and CNKI databases up to May 2018. The qualities of included articles were assessed with the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale and the assessment scale recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Odds ratios (ORs) corresponding with its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled to estimate the effects of maternal cigarette smoking on the risk of offspring strabismus. Subgroup analyses and meta‐regression were performed to explore the potential sources of heterogeneity. The Begg's test and Egger's test were used to assess the publication bias. Eleven articles involving 4,833 patients with strabismus were included. The pooled OR showed that maternal smoking during pregnancy was significantly associated with strabismus in offspring (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.32–1.60). Compared with less than 10 cigarettes per day (OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.06–1.29), maternal smoking 10 cigarettes or more per day during pregnancy significantly increased the risk of offspring strabismus (OR = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.39–2.31). The risk of developing esotropia and exotropia for smoking pregnant women, respectively, increased by 65% (OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.31–2.09 and OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.24–2.19) than those who did not smoke during pregnancy. Additionally, the increased risk of maternity smoking associated with offspring strabismus was stable across all subgroup analyses. Overall, maternal smoking during pregnancy was associated with a significantly increased risk of offspring strabismus and the result was persistent in subgroup analyses, suggesting the importance in changing smoking habit or smoking cessation for women who are pregnant or preparing to.
