How to treat strabismus in children

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 is it treated if the child has strabismus?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, there are two types of treatments: non-surgical and surgical. Surgical treatment aims to correct the condition through surgery. It is usually required for congenital esotropia and vertical strabismus, as well as non-accommodative strabismus with a large angle. However, not all types of strabismus require surgical correction. For example, accommodative esotropia can be corrected through non-surgical treatment, which involves wearing corrective glasses and undergoing corrective exercises.
