Question
Dear doctor, my child is 7.5 years old and their vision is decreasing. They have just been diagnosed with strabismus, but it’s not apparent on the surface. Do they absolutely need surgery? Will their vision improve after surgery?
Answer
Hello, the 7.5-year-old baby’s vision is decreasing. It may be related to the child’s early exposure to television and computers, so it’s easy for their vision to decline. If the baby’s vision decreases, you can use some eye drops to help improve the symptoms. If the vision decreases rapidly, you should be aware of the possibility of congenital myopia. Parents can take their child to the hospital for treatment!
