Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with left optic atrophy at the age of 8. The doctor suspected it was caused by a fever shortly after birth, with no family history. My right eye is perfectly normal. Due to the visual field defect in my left eye, it has a slight outward deviation. I had surgery for strabismus, but the results were not effective and quickly rebounded. The deviation is particularly noticeable when looking at distant objects, while it is almost imperceptible when looking at close objects. Will this type of optic atrophy be inherited? Will the strabismus caused by optic atrophy be inherited?Doctor's answer:
Hello, strabismus can be divided into esotropia, exotropia, hypertropia, and hypotropia depending on the direction of deviation. Among these, esotropia and exotropia are the most common. The treatment methods for strabismus include glasses treatment, prism treatment, medication, vision therapy, and surgery. Currently, for adults with strabismus, only surgery can achieve cosmetic correction. Binocular orthoptics.
