Patient's question:
My husband has strabismus, but I don't. The baby is just a month old, and it's hard to tell if they have strabismus yet. I want to ask if my child will develop strabismus in the future and how to prevent it?Doctor's answer:
The prevention of childhood strabismus primarily involves the following five aspects:1. Prevention of strabismus should start from infancy. Parents should pay close attention to their child's eye development and changes, and seek timely medical examination and treatment if any issues arise.
2. During infancy, when children have fever, rashes, or weaning, parents should provide enhanced care and frequently monitor the coordination of both eyes, observing any abnormalities in the child's eye position.
3. It is important to regularly pay attention to the child's eye hygiene or visual habits. The use of electronic devices should be controlled. Lighting should be appropriate—neither too bright nor too dim. Printed images should have clear text, and children should not lie down while reading. Prolonged periods of watching TV or playing video games and computers should be avoided.
