How should infant esotropia be treated?

Patient's question:

Congenital esotropia; Had medical treatment at Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital and the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong.

Doctor's answer:

Surgical therapy involves adjusting the strength and attachment points of the extraocular muscles through surgical methods to bring the eye position back to normal. Most cases of congenital esotropia and vertical strabismus require surgical treatment. Non-regressive strabismus with a large angle also often needs to be corrected through surgical means.
Since the causes of pediatric strabismus and amblyopia are diverse, it is essential to identify the underlying reasons before treatment to adopt targeted approaches for effective results. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to consume less spicy food and more eye-protective foods.
