How to treat a child with strabismus

Patient's question:

Female, 7 years old, the child said that things are not clear when looking, and they have to look at an angle. At first, I didn't pay much attention, thinking it was because of playing computers too long. Please ask; how should the treatment be for a child with strabismus?

Doctor's answer:

Age is getting older, it is necessary to take the baby to the ophthalmology department to correct it. It is necessary to use instruments to test the baby's degree of myopia in addition to the degree of strabismus in order to speculate whether the baby needs conservative treatment or surgical treatment. Mild strabismus can be treated conservatively with glasses, while severe cases require surgical treatment. This needs to be determined after a detailed examination of the baby on-site. It is necessary to go to the hospital ophthalmology department for examination, and this depends on the severity of the strabismus.
