Highlight
- More than 20% of parents of children with strabismus have strabismus themselves, highlighting strong familial aggregation.
- Over half of examined parents exhibit abnormal sensorimotor features, including decreased stereopsis and significant phorias.
- Low stereopsis in parents may represent a subclinical form of strabismus with genetic underpinnings.
- Clinical evaluations reveal discrepancies from self-reported diagnoses, emphasizing the need for thorough orthoptic examination in genetic studies.
