Patient's question:
Male, 6 years old, the child's vision has deteriorated significantly. He was taken to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with myopic amblyopia with strabismus. He is very worried about this situation and wants to ask how the left eye strabismus should be examined and treated.Doctor's answer:
Strabismus is usually binocular, while monocular strabismus is relatively rare. Whether strabismus requires surgery depends on the type and degree of the strabismus. Based on your description, it seems the child may have amblyopia in addition to strabismus, so it's important to have a thorough examination at the hospital as soon as possible. The treatment of amblyopia is closely related to age, and now is the best time for treatment. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should 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.
