People often say wrinkles are just a normal part of aging. But sometimes the cause is something completely different. Many children and young adults with binocular vision dysfunction constantly strain their eyes to keep their vision clear and single. They may raise their eyebrows, tighten their forehead, or squint to try to line their eyes up and see better. Over time, that constant effort can create deep forehead lines even at a very young age. I have seen patients who developed these wrinkles as early as childhood because their visual system was working overtime every single day. When the eyes are finally aligned with accurately prescribed prism lenses, that constant strain can relax. Many patients notice their eyes feel calmer, their forehead tension decreases, and they no longer need to constantly lift their eyebrows just to see clearly. Sometimes what looks like a cosmetic issue is actually a visual alignment issue.
