Question
Male, 5 years old, my child has myopia and their eyes have been particularly itchy and red, with some blood vessels. After examination, it was said that the child has astigmatism. How should strabismus be corrected?
Answer
Strabismus, often appearing in children, can generally be caused by refractive errors, downward gaze, or myopia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the cause of the strabismus before treatment. Treatment methods include surgical and non-surgical correction. Surgery involves repositioning the strength and attachment points of the extraocular muscles, while non-surgical correction requires wearing glasses for correction. Strabismus caused by different reasons may present with different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic examinations at regular hospitals as soon as possible according to their own condition for targeted treatment. In addition, patients need to maintain regular routines, do well in cold prevention and warmth retention, eat light and soft food, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
