Patient's question:
A 4-year-old girl, whose spirits have not been very good recently, was only then found to be sick. Please ask: How should the intermittent exotropia issue be corrected appropriately?Doctor's answer:
Generally, early intermittent exotropia is mostly esotropia, with infrequent episodes and small angle deviations. Surgical treatment is generally not recommended. Prism therapy combined with occlusion therapy can be used to stimulate fusion and achieve correction. Early detection and treatment of childhood strabismus are crucial, as the younger the age, the better the treatment outcome. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade III-A hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against colds, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
