True or False: Strabismus is related to presbyopia.

True
False
Only for older individuals
Only in children

The correct answer is: False

Strabismus is a condition characterized by misalignment of the eyes, which can occur in individuals of any age due to various reasons such as neurological issues, muscle imbalances, or refractive errors. It is typically diagnosed in children, but it can also develop in adults, often as a result of medical conditions or trauma. Presbyopia, on the other hand, is an age-related vision change that affects nearly everyone as they get older, making it difficult to focus on close objects due to the loss of elasticity in the eye's lens. While both strabismus and presbyopia relate to visual function, they are distinct conditions that occur due to different physiological changes and are not directly related to one another. Thus, the statement that strabismus is related to presbyopia is false, as they arise from separate underlying causes and mechanisms, making it clear why the correct answer is designated as false.
