Question
Female, 7 years old, the child says she can’t see things clearly and has to look at them sideways, I didn’t pay much attention at first, thinking it was caused by playing computers too much. Please ask; how to treat strabismus in children?
Answer
Generally, there are two types of treatments: non-surgical and surgical. Surgical treatment goes beyond the purpose of correction through surgery and is usually required for congenital esotropia, vertical strabismus, and non-reactive strabismus with significant deviation. However, not all strabismus cases require surgical correction; for example, accommodative esotropia can be corrected through non-surgical treatment, which involves wearing corrective glasses and undergoing correctional training.
