Patient's question:
My child has strabismus in the eyes but no amblyopia. His vision is 1.0. At the age of three, the strabismus degree was 25 degrees, and now at five years old, the degree is approximately 10 degrees.Doctor's answer:
When looking straight ahead or turning in other directions with both eyes, the visual axes should be parallel. If both eyes are focused straight ahead but cannot simultaneously fixate on the same target—one eye points at the target while the other deviates from it—this is called strabismus. Modern medicine believes that the coordinated movement of both eyes is controlled by the central nervous system. If there is a disruption in central control, the muscles of the eyes become unbalanced, and when the two eyes cannot simultaneously fixate on a target, the visual axes separate, resulting in strabismus. Strabismus can be broadly classified into two categories: convergent strabismus and paralytic strabismus.
