Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is 28 months old. The black part of his right eye is turning inward, I think it's called strabismus? What should I do? I feel his vision is still okay. It seems a bit better when looking at distant things, but it's very severe when looking at close things. How can this be resolved?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current symptoms, it cannot be confirmed that the child has esotropia. For relief methods, you can take the child to the ophthalmology department of a hospital for an examination, including refraction, strabismus, strabismus degree, and fundus examination. If there is indeed a problem, eye drops can be used to dilate the child's pupils for realignment. If the strabismus degree is very high, surgical treatment may be necessary. The child's esotropia is caused by congenital eye muscle paralysis! It can be corrected with glasses in the early stage (before the age of five).
