Question
For a year now, my child is 5 years old and has never been to the hospital. They often have strabismus. What should I do?
Answer
The primary treatment for strabismus is to address amblyopia, promoting good visual development in both eyes, followed by correcting the misaligned position of the eyes. Treatment methods include wearing glasses, using eye patches to cover one eye, vision axis correction training, eye muscle surgery, or a combination of these methods. Eye patches are used to treat amblyopia caused by strabismus. Vision axis correction training uses instruments to enhance eye movements. Eye muscle surgery involves relaxing or shortening one or more extraocular muscles in one or both eyes. Mild strabismus can be corrected with prismatic glasses.
