How should congenital esotropia be treated?

Patient's question:

My daughter is now 4 and a half years old. She was found to have strabismus when she was 1 and a half years old. The doctor at the local county hospital said to wait until she is 4 years old to treat it.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the principle of amblyopia treatment is: first treat amblyopia, then treat strabismus. For patients with congenital strabismus, strabismus surgery is performed first, followed by amblyopia training. For amblyopia combined with high-degree strabismus, amblyopia is treated for a period of time first, and then strabismus surgery is performed after partial improvement in vision. After eye position correction, amblyopia treatment is continued. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in the hospital in a timely manner.
