Question
A 20-year-old female, who watches TV very closely and has difficulty seeing things in the distance, has been diagnosed with astigmatism and is very worried. How should an adult with strabismus be treated?
Answer
Treating strabismus requires careful consideration, and options may include surgical correction of the strength and position of the external eye muscles, or the choice of wearing corrective glasses. Depending on the individual’s situation, it is recommended to seek advice and diagnosis from an ophthalmologist. Early comprehensive examination at a regular hospital, based on the cause and symptoms, is essential to determine the appropriate treatment method. Additionally, maintaining a good lifestyle, avoiding colds, eating easily digestible and light meals, frequent ventilation, and drinking plenty of water can aid in recovery.
