Question
Ever since birth, my child’s eyes have been fixated on the light, causing one eye to be cross-eyed. What are the solutions?
Answer
The treatment for strabismus includes wearing glasses, patching therapy, vision axis correction training, eye muscle surgery, or a combination of these methods. Patching therapy is used to treat amblyopia caused by strabismus. Vision axis correction training utilizes instruments to enhance eye movement. Eye muscle surgery involves relaxing or shortening one or more eye muscles in one or both eyes. Mild strabismus can be corrected by wearing prism glasses.
