Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always like to cry. What are the treatment methods for infantile strabismus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, what is your child's vision? Generally, strabismus is accompanied by amblyopia, so it's important to determine if your child has amblyopia.Typically, accommodative strabismus and some forms of esotropia can be corrected with glasses, restoring eye alignment. For your child's condition, it's recommended to have the strabismus measured at a hospital. Based on the examination results, the most effective treatment plan can be developed. Strabismus surgery is a common ophthalmic procedure that does not require entering the eye, nor does it involve the optic nerve or intraocular tissues, making it very safe.
For strabismus surgery, we perform it under a microscope. The procedure is short, minimally invasive, and has a quick recovery time. Patients typically need to stay in the hospital for 3-4 days. Strabismus surgery in children can improve binocular vision and fusion function. If surgery is necessary for strabismus, the earlier it is performed, the better. Therefore, we recommend taking your child for an examination as soon as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to consult us! Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
