Question
A 10-year-old boy frequently experiences blurred vision and mosaic-like phenomena when looking at people. Upon examination, it was found that he has a condition of weak strabismus. What are the possible consequences if strabismus is not treated?
Answer
Strabismus not only has a severe impact on appearance but also leads to the loss of binocular vision and fusion ability, which can affect the ability to perform certain professional tasks. If not corrected in time, long-term effects may include abnormal growth and development of the entire skeletal system, such as scoliosis. The symptoms of strabismus caused by different reasons vary, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at regular three-level-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their own condition for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines in their daily lives, do a good job of keeping warm and preventing colds, eat light and soft foods, and ensure indoor ventilation and adequate water intake.
