Question
How should strabismus surgery be performed if there was no treatment before?
Answer
Strabismus refers to a condition where the eyes cannot simultaneously focus on a target, which is an eye muscle disorder. It can be categorized into two main types:congenital strabismus and paralytic strabismus. Congenital strabismus is characterized by an eye position that deviates towards the temporal side, with no movement impairment and no diplopia. Paralytic strabismus, on the other hand, is accompanied by limited eye movement, diplopia, and may also present with systemic symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and unsteady gait. The causes of strabismus are complex. Modern Western medicine treats the condition according to its causes and may resort to surgical methods when necessary.
