Question
A 5-month-old male infant has a blood-red spot about 0.1 centimeters in diameter on the outer side of his left eye, visible only when straining. What are the possible causes and treatment methods?
Answer
As I am unable to conduct a physical examination, I suggest that the parents take their child to a local hospital to seek the professional opinion of an ophthalmologist to determine the cause and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. The causes of pediatric strabismus are diverse, and the cause must be determined before treatment is initiated. Daily eye care measures should not be overlooked, and it is recommended to reduce the intake of spicy food and eat more foods beneficial for the eyes.
