One little girl found the excitement to be too loud

While Prince William and Kate, duchess of Cambridge, kissed on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after the Royal Wedding on Friday, April, 29, one little girl found the excitement to be too loud. Lady Louise is the daughter of Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Edward, and his wife Sophie. Lady Louise has long been sheltered from public attention, due to the fact that she has an eye condition known as exotropia.

Exotropia is a type of strabismus, the technical term for a misalignment of the eyes, in which one or both of the eyes points outward. Strabismus is usually caused by poor muscle control in one of the six muscles that control eye movement. Typically the eyes work together to focus on an image, but in a patient with strabismus, the eyes do not focus on just one image. This may create double vision or confusion as the brain tries to make sense of the two different images it sees. Over time, the brain will override information from the turned eye, causing poor depth perception

It is estimated that up to 5 percent of all children have some form of strabismus.

There are several recommended therapies, including the use of patches or glasses to attempt to get the affected eye back into alignment. Strengthening the eye muscles and correcting farsightedness are excellent ways to improve the appearance and function of the affected eye. Vision therapies may also help focus the eye through activities requiring hand-eye coordination. Finally, surgery can be performed as a last resort. It is believed that Edward and Sophie have refused to put Lady Louise through eye surgery, but her participation in other forms of treatment is unknown.
