Patient's question:
When I was a child, others noticed that my left eye was a bit slanted, but I didn't care. Recently, in the past six months, I've noticed that the squint has become more obvious, and I've also been blinking a lot. Before the Spring Festival, I went to Shantou International Eye Center for a check-up. It was diagnosed as strabismus and amblyopia (0.6 and 0.8). I've been wearing glasses for two months.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in addition to trichiasis and inflammation, common reasons for children blinking include:1. Refractive errors, which may involve amblyopia or astigmatism.
2. Habitual actions.
It is necessary to undergo a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination in the hospital, particularly focusing on vision tests, with special attention to the examination of amblyopia and strabismus. If vision problems exist, early treatment is required.
Since there are various triggers for pediatric strabismic amblyopia, it is essential to identify the underlying cause before treatment and follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to reduce the intake of spicy foods and consume more eye-protective foods.
