Misalignment. Kids using abnormal head positions like face turns or head tilts, and any abnormal eye movements should be checked.

Dr. Bolinao, who specializes in strabismus, or misalignment of the eyes, says that early detection with the use of glasses may help correct esotropia (cross-eyed), exotropia (eye balls deviated outward, banlag), and hypo- or hypertropia (vertical misalignments). If not through glasses, these can be corrected through surgery.
