Abstract

Strabismus is a common disorder in which eyes are not aligned with their optical
axis, resulting in an abnormal binocular interaction, thus leading to amblyopia. Accordingly, early
detection and diagnosis are mandatory. Despite technology development and constant knowledge
growth, the foundations of physiology and the diagnosis of strabismus were set back in the 19th or
early 20th century and have not changed since. In this paper, a novel, properly tested and evaluated
eye-tracking based method for manifest strabismus diagnosis is presented. The evaluation showed the
aforementioned method to have both high sensitivity and specificity in detecting manifest strabismus
without the need for a skilled examiner, thus being suitable for population screening and highlighting
the need for future research regarding testing of latent strabismus.
