Question
What are the corrective methods for children with strabismus?
Answer
The corrective methods for pediatric strabismus are chosen based on the type of strabismus. For esotropia, corrective glasses can be worn. If the esotropia does not change after wearing glasses, surgical treatment is the only option. For exotropia, corrective measures can be taken through eye muscle training. If training is ineffective, glasses or surgery may be required. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at regular three-level A hospitals as soon as possible according to their own conditions for targeted treatment. In addition, patients should maintain regular work and rest times in their daily lives, pay attention to cold prevention and warmth, consume more light and soft foods in their diet, and ensure good ventilation and drinking plenty of hot water.
