Sensory adaptations, such as anomalous retinal correspondence (ARC) and suppression, develop in young children with strabismus to avoid diplopia and confusion. ARC involves a shift in spatial localization between the eyes' retinas such that images from non-corresponding retinal points appear fused. Tests for ARC produce varying results depending on the degree of sensory dissociation. While ARC is initially adaptive, it can become ingrained over time if the strabismus is not treated early in the visual development period from infancy to age 6 years. Suppression involves cortical inhibition of images from the deviating eye to prevent confusion, and its depth and extent can be measured using various tests involving filters, lenses, and stereosc
