Patient's question:
Can a child's strabismus be treated? I'm very worried. My child has had this for a long time, and I'm afraid it will get worse.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, the earlier the age of onset, the longer the course of the disease, the later the age of correction, the worse the recovery of binocular vision, and it may even be completely irreversible. Therefore, active treatment measures should be taken. There are generally two treatment methods: non-surgical and surgical. Non-surgical therapy mainly includes wearing glasses, wearing an eye patch to cover, and orthoptics training. Wearing an eye patch is the main method for treating amblyopia caused by strabismus. Strabismus surgery is not only aimed at correcting eye position and improving appearance, but more importantly, it is to establish binocular vision function. The best time for surgery is before the age of 6-7.
