Patient's question:
Female, 8 years old, watches TV very close, says she can't see clearly when she moves farther away. Hospital check-up revealed symptoms of mild strabismus. Very worried about her child's condition. How can strabismus be corrected?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus generally primarily affects appearance, and some may also cause visual fatigue. Currently, there is no physical method to treat strabismus unless it is accommodative esotropia in children, which can be corrected by wearing glasses. For most cases of strabismus, surgical intervention is needed to correct the eye position and stabilize the appearance. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
