Patient's question:
Yesterday, sand got into my eyes. I went to the hospital for flushing. The doctor said that both of my child's eyes are slightly cross-eyed. The doctor suggested that we go to Hefei for treatment. I don't know what age is most appropriate for treating this. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been given. What kind of help do I want: Could you please tell me what age is the best time to treat a child's cross-eyed condition? The city I am in is Anhui Huainan. I don't know which hospital in Hefei is better.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, your description indicates that your 2-year-3-month-old child has a slight strabismus in both eyes. First, based on your description, strabismus will inevitably lead to amblyopia. There are many reasons for pediatric strabismus. Considering your child's condition, the causes of strabismus can include genetic factors or delayed postnatal visual function development, which prevents the eyes from properly coordinating the extrinsic muscles, leading to pediatric strabismus.Recommendation: Personally, I recommend that you take your child to a local reputable hospital for a definitive diagnosis. If it is accommodative esotropia, I suggest using corrective lenses for your child first. If it is not, surgical intervention will be necessary, which involves adjusting the strength and position of the extrinsic muscles to achieve a cure. I hope my answer meets your expectations. Wishing you and your child good health.
