Question
An 8-year-old boy loves to watch TV with his eyes crossed. A hospital examination revealed he has mild myopia and strabismus. I want to know if congenital strabismus can be corrected after surgery?
Answer
Congenital strabismus typically shows good recovery after surgery. For cases with moderate strabismus, the surgery usually provides a significant correction effect. Symptoms can vary depending on the underlying cause, so patients should seek a comprehensive examination at a professional hospital to develop an appropriate treatment plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular lifestyle, pay attention to warmth, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
