Patient's question:
My relative's child has a 15-degree strabismus. We want to know if the symptoms of strabismus affect the child's vision and whether surgery is required.Doctor's answer:
Children can be taken to a professional pediatric ophthalmology clinic, where the doctors have extensive experience in pediatric examinations. The diagnosis is 15 degrees of esotropia. The child should be regularly examined at the hospital to monitor changes in the condition and avoid missing the opportunity for treatment. The most prominent feature of this condition is the significant variation in the degree of strabismus. Exotropia often occurs during fatigue or distraction, especially when looking at distant objects. If the strabismus becomes increasingly obvious and constant, surgery should be performed in a timely manner to correct it.
