Question
How to solve a 1-year-old’s left eye esotropia, which is not a complete strabismus and sometimes appears normal?
Answer
Children over 18 months can wear glasses to improve appearance and prevent the progression of strabismus into amblyopia. Under conditions of full dilation, a re-examination and possible refraction should be carried out every 6 to 12 months after treatment, as the degree of hyperopia may decrease with the development of the eyes, and may no longer require glasses. It is essential to confirm the cause before treatment and implement symptomatic therapy. Daily care is also very important; it is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables.
