Patient's question:
Hello, the child always tilts their head to the right to look at things. The hospital examination said it was strabismus and said that surgery needs to be done. The child is so young and will suffer so much from the surgery!Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your child always tilts their head to look at things, it could be possible that they have paralytic strabismus and astigmatism. Paralytic strabismus: This is the most common type in clinical practice. Children with paralytic strabismus have misaligned eyes. When both eyes focus on a target, one eye's line of sight deviates to one side of the target. To overcome diplopia and confusion, they often compensate by tilting their head or turning their face. If surgery is needed, it still depends on the results of the baby's eye examination.
