How is strabismus treated?

Patient's question:

Glasses or bifocals can correct it. So how should the eyes of a child with strabismus be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Not all strabismus requires surgical treatment. If it is accommodative esotropia, wearing appropriate hyperopic glasses or bifocal glasses can correct it. If there is also moderate to high refractive error, glasses are often needed to correct it. Additionally, methods such as axis correction training can help restore binocular vision and enhance fusion ability. For example, using an axis correction training device or wearing prism lenses, among other methods. If there is also amblyopia, amblyopia training is also an indispensable part of the treatment.
