Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has recently been found to enjoy watching TV with his head tilted. He always squints while watching TV. Later, a hospital examination revealed mild myopia and strabismus. Is it a good idea for the child to have surgery for amblyopia?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus cannot be surgically treated. If you are an adult, myopia is often true myopia. If the degree is below 200 degrees, it is recommended to wear glasses for a long time for myopia, downward vision, or astigmatism. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade A hospital for systematic and standardized examination as soon as possible according to their own condition so that they can be treated accordingly. In addition, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, take good care to prevent colds, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink more hot water.
