Patient's question:
Recently, the child was diagnosed with strabismus and needs surgery. How much does it cost?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus should be treated as early as possible. The best age for strabismus surgery is between 3 and 6 years old. If a child has strabismus accompanied by amblyopia, the strabismus surgery cannot be performed until the amblyopia has been corrected and stabilized. The cost of strabismus surgery varies depending on the surgical method. Local anesthesia is relatively cheaper. The price of the surgery ranges from over 2,000 to 4,000. Since there are many diverse factors that can cause pediatric strabismus and amblyopia, it is essential to identify the cause before treatment to adopt a targeted approach for effective results. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
