Question

I noticed strabismus at 100 days old. When looking at things, the head tilts to the right shoulder. I have visited Xu Medical Affiliated Hospital for consultation.

Answer

Hello, the primary focus of strabismus treatment is to address amblyopia, promoting good visual development in both eyes, followed by correcting the misaligned eye position. The treatment methods include wearing glasses, patching therapy, visual axis correction training, eye muscle surgery, or a combination of these methods. Patching is used to treat amblyopia caused by strabismus. Visual axis correction utilizes 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 prism glasses.
