Question

An 8-year-old boy has been experiencing a decline in his mental state recently, and it’s unclear why. How should strabismus be treated reliably in children?

Answer

There are two main treatment methods for strabismus: spectacle correction and surgical correction. If the patient’s strabismus is accompanied by refractive errors, it is recommended to wear glasses to correct the strabismus. If the patient has no abnormal refractive power, spectacle correction cannot stabilize the strabismus, and surgical correction is needed. Different causes lead to different symptoms, so patients should seek prompt and systematic examinations at a regular three-level A hospital to receive appropriate treatment and recover quickly.
