Question
My child has been crying a lot and their eyes always tear up shortly after birth. What are the treatment methods for pediatric strabismus?
Answer
Hello, may I know your child’s vision? Generally, strabismus is accompanied by amblyopia, so it’s important to determine if your child has it. In general, patients with accommodative strabismus and partial esotropia can be corrected and their eye position can be restored with the use of glasses. In your child’s case, you can have your child’s strabismus tested at the hospital and the results of the test will determine the most effective treatment plan. Strabismus is a common ophthalmologic procedure that is safe because it does not require entry into the eye or involve the optic nerve or intraocular tissues. Strabismus surgery is performed under a microscope and is a short, minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery. Hospitalization is required for 3-4 days. In children with strabismus, surgery can improve stereopsis, and improve binocular fusion. If surgery is needed for strabismus, the sooner the better, so it is recommended that you have your child examined as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! We wish your child a speedy recovery. Adjustable strabismus and some cases of exotropia can usually be corrected with glasses.
