Turn on a flashlight and put it about a foot away from the child's face. The light should be focused on the bridge of the child's nose. At this time, parents can find a bright light in the middle of their children's eyes. When the bright light appears in the middle of the pupil of the child's eyes, the child does not have strabismus.
