Question
Female, 3 years old, my child has been complaining about discomfort in her eyes. I took her to a top-tier hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said she has pediatric amblyopia. I would like to know what symptoms are associated with pediatric strabismus?
Answer
When children have long-term strabismus, they may exhibit symptoms such as amblyopia or a lazy eye, which is caused by not using the eye properly leading to weakened visual acuity. Binocular vision may also be weakened, as the ability to perceive depth and a three-dimensional world requires the eyes to be parallel. Children with strabismus may have abnormal head posture, such as lowering their head or face. Treatment methods vary depending on the patient’s condition, and it is recommended that patients visit a professional hospital for detailed examinations as soon as possible to take targeted treatment measures.
