Question
Can strabismus in children be cured?
Answer
Strabismus treatment primarily focuses on correcting amblyopia to promote healthy binocular vision development, followed by aligning the misaligned eye position. Treatment methods include wearing glasses, using eye patches to cover the eyes, axial alignment training, eye muscle surgery, or a combination of these methods. Eye patches are used to treat amblyopia caused by strabismus. Axial alignment training 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.
