Patient's question:
At the age of one and a half, it was discovered that the child had strabismus when looking at people or objects. He had been diagnosed at the local county-level hospital, which confirmed the strabismus. However, due to his young age and difficulty in cooperation during treatment, they recommended waiting until he was older to observe and treat. Now that the child is 2.5 years old, he has been examined at the Shandong Provincial Hospital and Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital, which have diagnosed him with intermittent exotropia. It is necessary to have surgery as soon as possible, and there is no conservative treatment available.Doctor's answer:
Generally, surgical treatment is required if oral medication is not effective. It is recommended to seek treatment at a hospital using minimally invasive surgery. Pay attention to postoperative care and prevent infection. It is advisable not to consume irritating foods.
