Question
Female, 8 years old, the child says they can’t see things clearly and have to look at them diagonally, At first I didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was caused by playing computers too much. Please ask; how to treat children with exotropia?
Answer
There are generally two types of treatment: non-surgical and surgical. Surgical treatment is to correct the deviation beyond the purpose of correction, usually required for congenital esotropia, vertical strabismus, and non-regular high-angle strabismus that are not adjustable. However, not all strabismus cases require surgical correction; for example, accommodative esotropia can be corrected through non-surgical treatments, which include wearing corrective glasses and undergoing correctional training.
