Abstract

Strabismus is a pathology that affects about 4% of the population provoking aesthetic problems, reversible at any age, and irreversible sensorial alterations, modifying the vision mechanism. Attentive this problem and trying to find a way to surpass her is that propose the study in subject, that seeks to develop a methodology for detection and automatic diagnosis, and planning strabismus surgery. The method be still in initial phase, obtained sensibility results of 100%, specificity of 77% and rightness of 83% .
