Question

How should a child’s strabismus be treated?

Answer

The treatment for children’s strabismus typically includes corrective lenses or surgical treatment. If the strabismus is accommodative, lens correction is usually tried first. If this is not effective, surgery may be required to adjust the strength and position of the extraocular muscles. The treatment time depends on the type and severity of the strabismus, and it is generally recommended to treat it as early as possible to ensure that vision and visual development are not affected.
