Question
The child says they can’t see things clearly and have to look at them askew. Initially, I didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was caused by too much computer use. Can you please tell me about the treatment methods for a 4-year-old baby with strabismus and amblyopia?
Answer
If strabismus is not treated promptly, it can affect vision. Therefore, early detection and treatment are essential. For a 4-year-old with strabismus, it is first necessary to confirm whether the child has any refractive errors. If they do, treatment for refractive errors should be carried out before addressing the strabismus. If there are no refractive errors, strabismus treatment can be conducted directly. Strabismus is typically treated surgically. It is recommended to bring the child to a regular three-level A hospital for a thorough examination and treatment.
