Question
How should one correct a child’s strabismus? The condition has been ongoing for some time, and there is concern that it may worsen. Please provide professional advice.
Answer
The correction of strabismus begins with early diagnosis and treatment. The treatment method varies depending on the type of strabismus, but patience and cooperation with the doctor are crucial. Treatment involves not only regular training in the hospital but also requires parents to supervise their child’s completion of assignments at home, perform correct cover treatments, and wear appropriate glasses. Correcting strabismus is a long-term process that may take several months or even years, typically at least six months. Therefore, it is vital to persist with treatment; giving up halfway will not achieve the desired correction effect.
