Question
A 27-year-old female recently experienced a decline in vision, finding things unclear, and was diagnosed with mild strabismus by a doctor. She wants to know about the treatment and examination methods for adult strabismus.
Answer
The treatment methods for strabismus are categorized into surgical and non-surgical treatments, depending on the type. Surgical treatment adjusts the strength and attachment points of the external eye muscles to correct the eye position, and is suitable for congenital esotropia, oblique strabismus, and strabismus with a larger degree of deviation. Non-surgical treatment is applicable to accommodative esotropia, which can be corrected by wearing appropriate glasses or lenses. In addition, axis alignment training devices and the use of prism lenses help restore binocular axis ability.
