Patient's question:
Male, 8 years old, has noticed in recent days that the child likes to watch TV with a slanted gaze and always squints when watching. Later, a hospital examination revealed mild myopia and strabismus. Can congenital strabismus surgery allow the child to be as normal as ordinary people?Doctor's answer:
If you have congenital strabismus, generally speaking, if surgery is performed, it can be corrected. Since the degree of your strabismus is moderate, surgery can likely restore it to a good extent. Different causes 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. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
