Description
Bin-bin Zhao, Hui Wang, Nan Luo, and Zhuan-Zhuan Zhang interview parents of children with strabismus in a 2025 study. Crossed or wandering eyes affect family life well beyond vision. Twelve parents of children aged four to eleven took part in deep interviews in early 2025, framed by family systems theory, which treats the household as one interlocked unit. A seven-step method distilled the transcripts into themes.
Four themes emerged. Parents described raw emotional distress, from anxiety to guilt, and the family's adjustment strategies, like sharing labor. They also named a pile-up of challenges, including conflict between relatives, and the support they say they need. Services that treat only the child's eyes miss the household strain the interviews expose.
