Does the baby need treatment for strabismus?

Patient's question:

Baby is 14 months old, has some cross-eyed, needs treatment? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Strabismus always requires surgical treatment. If it is accommodative esotropia, wearing appropriate hyperopic glasses or bifocal glasses can correct it. If there is also moderate to high refractive error, glasses are often needed to correct it. Additionally, methods such as axis correction training can help restore binocular vision and enhance fusion ability. For example, using an axis correction training machine or wearing prism lenses. If there is also amblyopia, amblyopia training is also an indispensable part of the treatment.
