Patient's question:
What is baby fighting eyes?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus is a congenital condition primarily caused by the lack of coordination between the internal or external eye muscles. In severe cases, it can significantly affect vision. It is recommended to first use corrective glasses for adjustment. If this is not effective, surgery may be necessary.The term "cross-eyed," also known as esotropia in medical terms, refers to a condition where one eye is positioned normally while the other deviates inward toward the nose. If treated promptly, it generally does not lead to amblyopia, and approximately 80% can be cured without surgery. However, if treatment is delayed beyond the early childhood stage, the effectiveness will be minimal. Even with surgery, it can only address cosmetic issues and not correct vision.
