Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. How should the squint be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for strabismus first focuses on amblyopia to promote the proper development of vision in both eyes, and secondly on correcting the misaligned eye position. The treatment methods for strabismus include: wearing glasses, patching with an eye patch, eye axis correction training, eye muscle surgery, or a combination of these methods. Patching is used to treat amblyopia caused by strabismus. Eye axis correction utilizes instruments to strengthen eye movement. Eye muscle surgery involves relaxing or shortening one or more eye muscles of the extrinsic eye muscles in one or both eyes. Mild strabismus can be corrected with "prism glasses."
