Question

Can strabismus be inherited from one parent to a child?

Answer

The prevention of strabismus in children mainly involves the following 5 aspects:

  1. Starting from infancy, parents should pay close attention to their child’s eye development and changes, and seek timely examination and treatment if any issues arise.
  2. During fevers, rashes, or weaning, parents should strengthen care and frequently observe the coordination of their child’s eyes to detect any abnormalities in eye position.
  3. Pay attention to children’s eye hygiene or eye usage, control their use of electronic devices. Ensure proper lighting, not too bright or too dim, clear print for images, and avoid having children read in bed. Also, limit prolonged TV watching and gaming on computers and consoles.
