Question
A 5-year-old girl recently experienced a decline in her vision and was diagnosed with mild strabismus after a hospital examination. The parents want to know, how should children with strabismus be corrected?
Answer
The correction of strabismus requires a detailed examination in a hospital to determine the appropriate treatment, as the causes of strabismus vary from child to child. Once strabismus symptoms are detected, immediate medical attention should be sought and delays should be avoided. Treatment may include additional exercise methods, and in most cases, surgery is needed for correction. Symptoms can vary depending on the underlying cause, so patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at regular three-level A hospitals as soon as possible for targeted treatment. In addition, patients should maintain regular routines, take good care of their health in cold weather, eat light and soft foods regularly, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
