The child has a slight squint, does it have to have surgery?

Patient's question:

Is the child slightly cross-eyed? Is it necessary to have surgery at the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

Not all strabismus requires surgical treatment; the treatment varies depending on the classification. If it is accommodative esotropia, wearing appropriate hyperopic glasses or bifocal glasses can correct it. If the strabismus is accompanied by moderate to high refractive errors, glasses are also needed to correct the refractive errors. Additionally, axis correction training can be used to help restore binocular vision and enhance fusion ability. For example, axis correction training equipment can be used for training, or prism lenses can be prescribed. If amblyopia is also present, amblyopia training is also an indispensable part of the treatment.
