Patient's question:
Around half a year old, it was discovered that the child's eyes had some vision problems, but since the child was young, it wasn't taken seriously. Now that the child is 3 years old, the issue is being taken more seriously. The child's eyes seem less noticeable now, as they were very obvious when the child was around half a year old. It has improved a lot since then, and it doesn't look very noticeable anymore.Doctor's answer:
For asymptomatic esotropia, no treatment is required because children have strong fusion and convergence abilities. However, some children with esotropia may experience eye strain, orbital pain, or headaches when focusing on close objects, and appropriate treatment can be provided. For esophoria, dilation and refraction are necessary, and hyperopes should be prescribed suitable glasses. For exophoria, convergence training can be performed to strengthen the medial rectus muscles and overcome the exophoria. If the results are unsatisfactory, prism glasses can be used.
