Does a baby need treatment for their eyes? If an eye turn is observed in a 14-month-old baby, does it require treatment? Thank you.

Answers

Strabismus typically requires treatment. For accommodative esotropia, wearing appropriate plus lenses or bifocal glasses can correct the condition. If accompanied by moderate to high refractive errors, glasses for correction are usually also needed. Additionally, vision axis correction training or wearing prism lenses can be used to enhance binocular vision. If amblyopia is present, vision therapy is essential.
