Question
I had an eye examination at a hospital in Beijing last year, and the doctor advised me to wear glasses for correction. Now, after a year of wearing glasses, I still have strabismus and amblyopia, and the doctor says surgery can be considered.
Answer
Surgical treatment involves adjusting the strength and attachment points of the extraocular muscles to help align the eyes towards normality. For patients with congenital esotropia and exotropia, the best treatment for strabismus is often surgical correction; strabismus with a significant degree that is non-correctional usually also requires surgical correction. Since there are many factors that can cause pediatric strabismus and amblyopia, it is essential to identify the cause before treatment to achieve effective results. Moreover, eye care measures in daily life are indispensable. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and more eye-friendly foods.
