Patient's question:
A 5-year-old boy. I don't know why I got this disease back then, because I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I only went for a check-up when I felt unwell, and this disease had already started to affect my life. Please ask: What are the causes of strabismus in children?Doctor's answer:
Children's eyes are short in length, and they all have the physiological phenomenon of downward gaze. After the age of two, children's ability to focus on close objects gradually increases, and their eyes have strong adjustment capabilities with well-developed extrinsic muscle contraction. If a child develops the habit of looking too closely at objects from a young age, it can cause both eyes to maintain a high level of adjustment, which inevitably leads to excessive inward rotation of the eyes. This is most likely to result in esotropia. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions. Only in this way can they receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
