What precautions should be taken before and after strabismus surgery in children?

Patient's question:

The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. Please ask what precautions should be taken for children's strabismus surgery

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to eye hygiene, do not overuse your eyes, rub your eyes, and avoid excessive eye fatigue. Ensure adequate sleep. In terms of diet, pay attention to balanced nutrition and avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy, irritating foods. For patients with refractive errors, corrective lenses should be prescribed promptly after surgery.
The treatment for strabismus primarily focuses on amblyopia to promote the proper development of vision in both eyes, followed by correcting the misaligned eye position. Methods for treating strabismus include: wearing glasses, patching the eye, eye axis correction training, eye muscle surgery, or a combination of these methods. Patching is used to treat amblyopia caused by strabismus. Eye axis correction utilizes instruments to strengthen eye movement. Eye muscle surgery involves relaxing or shortening one or more extraocular muscles of one or both eyes. Mild strabismus can be corrected with "prism glasses."
