Patient's question:
My child has strabismus in the eyes but not 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 looking straight ahead but cannot focus on the same target simultaneously—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 the central control is disrupted, the muscles of the eyes become unbalanced, and when the two eyes cannot focus on the same target simultaneously, the visual axes will separate, resulting in strabismus. Strabismus can be divided into two major categories: convergent strabismus and paralytic strabismus.
