Are Boston Terriers cross eyed?

Answered by John Hunt

Boston Terriers can indeed be cross-eyed or have a condition called strabismus. Strabismus is characterized by the misalignment of one or both eyes, causing them to point in different directions. In the case of Boston Terriers, this misalignment can result in one eye pointing inward or outward, giving the appearance of being cross-eyed.

It’s important to note that strabismus in Boston Terriers is primarily a cosmetic issue and does not commonly lead to any significant vision problems. While the misalignment of the eyes may look concerning, it generally does not affect the dog’s ability to see clearly or navigate their surroundings.

It is worth mentioning that strabismus is not exclusive to Boston Terriers and can occur in other animals as well as humans. Some cats, for example, may also have this condition. In humans, strabismus is often referred to as “crossed eyes” and can vary in severity from mild to more pronounced misalignments.
