Patient's question:
Female, 8 years old, her child said she can't see things clearly and has to look at them. At first, I didn't pay much attention, thinking it was because she had been playing computer games for too long. Please ask; how is treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Different treatment methods for strabismus vary, and it is important to identify the type of strabismus. Generally, it is divided into surgical and non-surgical treatments. Non-surgical treatments include wearing glasses, using an eye patch to cover the affected eye, and vision training. For example, exotropia can be learned by watching a cross-eyed person, while esotropia can be trained by looking to the side of the eyes. When these methods do not show significant results, surgical treatment is usually adopted.In addition to treatment, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water. A healthy lifestyle also helps prevent the occurrence of diseases.
