Hidden squint — the undetected obstacle to your daily productivity

Dold skelning — det oupptäckta hindret i din dagliga produktivitet

Hidden strabismus, also called latent strabismus problem or phoria, is an often overlooked eye condition that can have a bigger impact on your daily life than you might realize. Imagine how your productivity, well-being, and even your career can be affected by something as small as eye muscle coordination. In this article, we explore hidden strabismus from a new perspective — its impact on our ability to work and our daily lives.

What is hidden strabismus?

Latent strabismus means that your eyes have a tendency to cross, but this only becomes apparent under specific conditions, such as fatigue, stress, or when one eye is covered. Unlike manifest strabismus, where the eyes point in different directions all the time, in latent strabismus the eyes are usually aligned correctly but cannot maintain this position with effort.

How does hidden strabismus affect your productivity?

  • Constant fatigue and exhaustion : People with hidden strabismus often experience excessive eye strain, especially after long days of work in front of a screen. This fatigue can spill over into general exhaustion, making it difficult to stay alert and productive.

  • Headaches and migraines : Recurrent headaches and migraines are common symptoms that are often exacerbated by tasks that require intense focus. This can lead to frequent breaks and lost work time.

  • Impaired focus and concentration : Difficulty focusing your eyes can make it challenging to stay focused on tasks like reading, writing, or analyzing data. This leads to lower efficiency and a longer time to complete tasks.

Hidden strabismus and digital devices

In our digital age, screens are everywhere — at work, at home, and even during leisure time. Latent strabismus can be exacerbated by prolonged screen time because it requires constant eye coordination and focus. This means that people with latent strabismus may experience more pronounced symptoms when using computers, smartphones, and other digital devices.
