Question

Can convergence strabismus in the left eye really be untreatable?

Answer

The treatment methods for strabismus vary depending on the type of strabismus, generally divided into surgical and non-surgical treatments. (1) Surgical treatment involves adjusting the strength and attachment points of the extraocular muscles through surgery, allowing the eye position to gradually normalize. Congenital esotropia and vertical strabismus usually require surgical treatment, as do non-correctional and high-degree strabismus, which often need to be corrected through surgical methods. (2) Non-surgical treatment: Not all strabismus requires surgical treatment. For example, if it is a accommodative esotropia, wearing appropriate downgaze glasses or bifocals can correct it.
