Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. Can pediatric strabismus be surgically treated?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 exotropia can be corrected with glasses, restoring eye alignment. For your child's condition, it's recommended to have the strabismus degree tested at the hospital. Based on the examination results, the most effective treatment plan can be developed. Strabismus is a common surgical procedure in ophthalmology and does not involve the eye or the optic nerve or internal eye tissues, making it very safe. For strabismus surgery, we perform it under a microscope, with short operating times, minimal invasiveness, and rapid postoperative recovery. Hospitalization is required 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! Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
