Question
Does a child with a bit of strabismus necessarily need to undergo surgery?
Answer
Not all cases of strabismus require surgical treatment. The treatment approach varies depending on the type of strabismus. For accommodative esotropia, wearing the appropriate glasses or bifocals can correct the condition. If the strabismus is accompanied by moderate to high refractive anomalies, glasses are also needed for correction. Additionally, methods such as axis correction training can help restore binocular vision and increase convergence ability. For example, using axis correction training machines or wearing prism lenses. If amblyopia is also present, training for amblyopia is an indispensable part of the treatment.
