Question
A 7-year-old girl is experiencing unclear vision and eye strabismus. Initially, I thought it was caused by long-term computer use. How should a child with strabismus be treated?
Answer
For children of an older age with strabismus symptoms, it is advised to bring them for a thorough ophthalmological examination as soon as possible. The examination will include measuring the eye’s prescription and the degree of strabismus to determine whether conservative or surgical treatment is needed. Mild strabismus can be treated conservatively with glasses, but severe cases may require surgical intervention. Therefore, the child should undergo a comprehensive eye examination to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
