Patient's question:
Yesterday, sand got into my eyes. I went to the hospital for flushing. The doctor said that both of my child's eyes are slightly crossed. The doctor suggested we go to Hefei for treatment. I don't know what age is most suitable for treating strabismus. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered. What kind of help do I need: Could you please tell me what is the best age to treat a child's strabismus. The city I am in is Anhui Huainan. I don't know which hospital in Hefei is better.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, your description indicates that your 2-year-3-month-old child has a slight strabismus in both eyes. First, based on your description, strabismus will inevitably lead to amblyopia. There are many reasons for pediatric strabismus. According to your child's condition, the causes of strabismus can include genetic factors or delayed postnatal visual function development, which prevents the child from properly coordinating the extrinsic eye muscles, leading to pediatric strabismus.Suggestions: Personally, I recommend that considering your child is only 2 years and 3 months old, you must take them to a local reputable hospital for a definitive diagnosis. If it is accommodative esotropia, I personally suggest that you first use corrective lenses for your child. If it is not, the child will need surgical treatment, which involves adjusting the strength and position of the extrinsic eye muscles to achieve the goal of cure. I hope my answer meets your expectations. Wishing you and your child good health.
