Question
I am 14 years old. During a school physical examination in March 2013, I was found to have a right eye vision of 0.8 and left eye strabismus of 0.1. When I cover my right eye, half of my left eye is not visible.
Answer
Hello, strabismus treatment primarily focuses on correcting amblyopia to promote good visual development in both eyes, followed by correcting the misalignment of the eyes. Treatment methods for strabismus include wearing glasses, using eye patches to cover the eyes, axial alignment training, eye muscle surgery, or a combination of these methods. Eye patches are used to treat amblyopia caused by strabismus. Axial alignment training utilizes instruments to enhance eye movement. Eye muscle surgery involves relaxing or shortening one or more extraocular muscles in one or both eyes. Mild strabismus can be corrected with prism glasses.
