Question
My child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry. Can children with strabismus undergo surgery treatment?
Answer
Hello, may I know your child’s vision? Generally, strabismus is accompanied by amblyopia, so it is necessary to find out if your child has amblyopia. Usually, patients with accommodative strabismus and some exotropia can be corrected by glasses to restore the position of the eyes. You can test your child’s strabismus degree at the hospital and develop the most effective treatment plan based on the examination results. Strabismus is a common ophthalmic surgery that does not require entering the eye, nor does it involve the optic nerve and intraocular tissues, making it very safe. For strabismus surgery, we perform the procedure under a microscope, which is short, minimally invasive, and has a quick postoperative recovery. Hospitalization is required for 3-4 days. Children with strabismus surgery can improve certain stereoscopic vision and binocular fusion function. If surgery is needed for the strabismus condition, it is best to do it as early as possible, so I suggest you bring your child for an examination as soon as possible. If there are any unclear points, feel free to consult! Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
