Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. He has a right eye and needs surgical treatment.Doctor's answer:
Strabismus. If strabismus is present, active treatment should be initiated: Some cases of strabismus are caused by refractive errors in the child's eyes, such as high degrees of hyperopia, which can lead to abnormal accommodative conditions and result in strabismus. This can be treated through early corrective eyewear. However, if a doctor's diagnosis confirms paralytic strabismus, surgical treatment may be necessary. In such cases, it is essential to determine the optimal timing for surgery under the guidance of a healthcare professional and not to delay treatment, as this may affect visual function. It is recommended to first undergo a comprehensive eye examination at a hospital ophthalmology department before deciding on a treatment plan.
