Princess Peach's initial appearance was drawn by Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto later asked YÅichi Kotabe to redraw Peach with his instructions. He had asked Kotabe to draw her eyes to be a little cat-like. With Kotabe's influence, Princess Peach changed considerably throughout her gaming system.
The condition is more common in children, but it can also occur later in life. In older children and adults, crossed eyes can be caused by a variety of underlying medical conditions, like cerebral palsy or stroke. Crossed eyes can usually be corrected with corrective lenses, surgery, or a combination of both.
Sometimes an eye may look crossed and it really is not, this is called pseudo-strabismus. Pseudo-strabismus is most often found in infants due to a wide, flat nose and a fold of skin at the inner eyelid (called epicanthal folds) that makes the eyes appear crossed (See Example of Pseudo-Strabismus).
