Patient's question:
How to treat strabismus? As a parent, I'm very worried and afraid that my child's condition will worsen. Regarding the question I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to consult a professional ophthalmologist for an eye examination to differentiate between true strabismus and pseudo-strabismus. Then, a pupil dilation test should be conducted to check for refractive errors.Second, after correcting any refractive errors, the child should be observed for amblyopia. If amblyopia is present, appropriate treatment should be administered.
Third, the doctor should assess whether there are indications for surgery. If surgery is indicated, the doctor will determine whether the child will undergo the procedure and select an appropriate treatment time. Additionally, the doctor will perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head and eyes to rule out any eye or head-related conditions.
