My baby was found to be looking at things sideways when he was three months old.

Patient's question:

I noticed he was looking at things sideways. At that time, I thought Xiao Huan would never do that, so I didn't pay much attention. Now he's two and two months old, and sometimes he still looks sideways.
Hello, what should I do? Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been given, and the family doesn't have this condition. The kind of assistance I need: I want to understand if there's a problem with his eyes.

Doctor's answer:

Refers to the inability of both eyes to focus on the target simultaneously, belonging to extraocular muscle diseases. It can be divided into two major categories: concomitant strabismus and paralytic strabismus. The former is primarily characterized by the eye position deviating to the temporal side, without movement disorders, and without diplopia as the main clinical diagnostic features. Paralytic strabismus, on the other hand, is accompanied by restricted eye movement, diplopia, and systemic symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and unsteady gait. The causes of strabismus are complex. Modern Western medicine, in addition to treating the underlying cause and surgical intervention, has no ideal methods for cases where the cause is unclear.
