Question

Li Shuhan, 8 years old, in good health. She has occasionally had strabismus when active since childhood, but it is normal otherwise. The doctor recommended observation during the 5-year-old check-up.

Answer

Hello, if conservative treatment for strabismus is ineffective, it is necessary to undergo surgical treatment at a hospital with a three-level A ophthalmology department. The surgery involves fixing the abducting muscle on the opposite side of the strabismus. Since the causes of children’s amblyopia are diverse, it is essential to identify the cause and adopt targeted treatment before surgery for effective results. Daily care measures are also very important. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
