Question

An 8-year-old boy has been feeling very tired for a while and went to the hospital for a check-up, only to find out that he was sick. The question is: Does strabismus in children always need to be corrected through surgery?

Answer

If a child has strabismus, surgery is not necessarily required; they can usually be corrected with glasses. If the glasses do not work well, surgery can be considered as a treatment option. It is recommended to take the child to a regular hospital for a follow-up consultation and follow the doctor’s guidance to determine the appropriate treatment method. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients need to receive systematic and standardized examinations at regular three-level-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their own condition, so that they can be treated according to symptoms and recover quickly.
