Patient's question:
Female, 8 years old, my child has recently experienced a slight improvement in vision and has difficulty seeing clearly. When checked at the hospital, the doctor said it is mild strabismus. I would like to know if congenital strabismus can be treated.Doctor's answer:
Congenital strabismus is generally influenced by familial factors. It can recur within 6 months after birth, and the deviation angle is usually large, often. Wearing glasses alone is insufficient for correction, and the lack of binocular single vision, a congenital condition, poses the greatest harm to the function. Surgical therapy involves the strength and attachment points of the extraocular muscles through surgery, gradually normalizing the eye position. Most cases of congenital esotropia and vertical strabismus require surgical treatment. Non-accommodative strabismus with a large angle also typically needs to be corrected through surgical methods.
