In both Brazilian and American medical contexts, ocular misalignment is primarily discussed in ophthalmological and optometric settings. In Brazil, it's commonly addressed through the public healthcare system (SUS) and private clinics, with early detection in children being particularly emphasized. The condition is stigmatized in some social contexts but medically normalized through proper diagnosis and treatment awareness.
