Question

Lately, I’ve noticed that my strabismus often appears intermittently, and this condition has been going on for a long time. I would like to inquire about the treatment methods for intermittent exotropia, especially for children, and hope the doctor can help us.

Answer

Hello! Strabismus can be classified into esotropia, exotropia, hypertropia, and hypotropia based on its direction of deviation, with esotropia being the most common. The treatment for strabismus includes glasses, prism treatment, medication, strabismus training, and surgical treatment. Currently, adult strabismus can only be corrected through surgery. This is a suggestion for dealing with intermittent exotropia. I hope it helps, and wish you good health.
