Doctor's answer:

Strabismus cannot be treated with surgery. If there is strabismus, it can be corrected through surgery, resulting in stable and aesthetic outcomes. Surgery cannot significantly improve vision. It is best to have a detailed and thorough examination at an ophthalmology department and listen to the doctor's advice. Protect your eyes well and preserve your current vision. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a regular, top-tier hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take good care to stay warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
