Is esotropia easy to treat?

Patient's question:

My child is now 3 years and 3 months old. When they were young, they used to look at the wall lamp, which may have caused them to have the suspicion of strabismus now. It is particularly noticeable in close-up photos, and it is esotropia.

Doctor's answer:

If there is strabismus, active treatment should be taken: Some strabismus is caused by refractive errors in the child's eyes, such as high degrees of hyperopia, which can lead to abnormal accommodation and result in strabismus. This can be treated by wearing corrective glasses early. However, if a doctor's diagnosis confirms that it is paralytic strabismus, surgical treatment may be necessary. The best time for surgery should be determined under the guidance of a doctor, and treatment should not be delayed to avoid affecting visual function. Prevent myopia.
