Susie has strabismus.

Explanation:

Strabismus is a medical condition in which the patient can not keep his/her eyes aligned under the normal conditions. In strabismus one or both of eyes rolls into up, down, in or out direction. Physicians usually recommend the exercises for eyes or placing a patch on the unaffected eye or they also do surgery where it's required like in severe cases.
