How to Correctly Correct Intermittent Exotropia

A 4-year-old girl is not feeling well recently and has just found out she is sick. How should intermittent exotropia be corrected? Generally, early intermittent exotropia is mostly exophoria, with few occurrences of strabismus and relatively small angles. Surgery is generally not recommended. A prism combined with occlusion therapy can be used to stimulate fusion and achieve correction. It’s important to treat childhood strabismus as early as possible; the younger the age, the better the treatment outcome. Different causes lead to different symptoms, so patients should quickly go to a regular top-grade hospital for systematic and standardized examinations to receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take good care of cold prevention and warmth, consume more light and soft foods in daily meals, ensure good ventilation, and drink more hot water.
