What happens if strabismus is not treated?

Patient's question:

Male, 10 years old, always unable to see clearly, seeing people as if in a mosaic. A vision check revealed a condition of mild strabismus. Question: What happens if strabismus is not treated?

Doctor's answer:

Strabismus not only severely affects appearance but also patients with strabismus lack fusion ability and stereoscopic vision, which can impact their ability to perform many professional tasks. Additionally, if strabismus is not corrected in a timely manner, it may lead to deformities in the development of the whole body's bones over time, such as scoliosis. Different causes can 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 to receive targeted treatment. Furthermore, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
