Patient's question:
Male, 15 years old, always can't see clearly, everything looks like a mosaic when looking at people. After a vision check, it was said that there is a condition of mild strabismus. Question: Can surgery improve amblyopia at the age of 15?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus occurs again in the early stage of visual development, resulting from an imbalance in the processing of binocular visual stimuli. The dominant eye acquires a healthy eye, while the weaker eye develops into a lazy eye. The effectiveness of treating strabismus is closely related to age; the younger the age, the better the treatment outcome, and the higher the likelihood of achieving functional recovery.
