We excluded infants who did not complete a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Detailed meticulous history based on a set of standardized questionnaires was obtained and a comprehensive ophthalmological examination of the child was performed. Data were collected regarding refractive error (astigmatism; myopia; hyperopia; anisometropia [&lt;1.0 DS or &gt;1.0 DS]; astigmatism [&lt;1.0 DS or &gt;1.0 DS]) and the type of strabismus.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      During this period, we saw 4,773 infants, out of which 123 infants were diagnosed to have infantile-onset strabismus (hospital prevalence of 2.6%). Boys and girls were equally affected. Sixty-two patients had esotropia, 37 had exotropia, 2 had hypotropia, and 22 had pseudo strabismus. Prematurity, hypermetropia, and anisometropia had increased odds of developing esotropia, whereas delivery by cesarean section, delayed cry at birth, infantile seizures, parental consanguinity, delayed development of milestones, and myopia had increased odds of developing exotropia. Twenty-nine patients underwent a surgical correction. The mean deviation at the first visit was 42.59 \u00b1 15.40 PD and 8.25 \u00b1 12.70 PD at the last visit. For all patients who underwent a squint surgery, the change in ocular deviation was clinically and statistically significant (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      -value &lt;0.0001, paired\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">t<\/jats:italic>\n                      -test).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The hospital prevalence of infantile strabismus in our cohort was found to be 2.6%. Our study suggests that esotropia is two-fold more common in our cohort as compared to exotropia. Further, our study highlights risk factors for the development of strabismus in infancy, which must be kept in mind and awareness must be created among pediatricians. Surgical correction should be considered early during the infantile period, because it may lead to promote the development of good binocular vision.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.ijo_543_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,4]],"date-time":"2022-08-04T11:45:11Z","timestamp":1659613511000},"page":"3056-3060","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Profile of infantile strabismus at a tertiary eye care center in India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Mariya Bashir","family":"Doctor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Sight Institute, Jasti V Ramanamma Children\u2019s Eye Care Centre, Kallam Anji Reddy Campus, L.
