Strabo
"Strabo" ("squinty") was a term employed by the Romans for anyone whose eyes were distorted or deformed. The father of Pompey was called "Pompeius Strabo." A native of Sicily so clear sighted that he could see things at great distance as if they were nearby was also called "Strabo." See also Walahfrid Strabo and Theodoric Strabo.
