6-month-old baby, strabismus in the right eye, what should be done.

Patient's question:

When looking at things, I like to tilt my head, with my right eye slanted.

Doctor's answer:

Conducting vision tests for children to determine the optimal time for refractive status and refractive properties should be chosen between the ages of 3-4. The reason is: children under 3 years old cannot cooperate with various eye examinations in ophthalmology and pediatric ophthalmology clinics, and the accuracy of vision identification is poor. If the age is too old, it is easy to delay the treatment time and fail to detect children's eye diseases in a timely manner. This is particularly disadvantageous for initial strabismus, latent strabismus, and intermittent strabismus. It is generally believed that children around 4 years old can usually undergo both subjective and objective examinations and cooperate well with treatment at this time. Vision therapy can be used to correct vision for children at this stage.
