Patient's question:
How to treat intermittent exotropia in children? This condition has been going on for a while, and I'm hesitant to give medication. Please give me some advice from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Strabismus in children, during treatment, first requires astigmatism refraction to correct refractive errors with glasses, improving vision. If amblyopia is present, amblyopia treatment should also be conducted, including conventional eye patching therapy, to promote the development of strabismus and thereby improve stereoscopic vision. Then, surgery can be performed to correct the strabismus.If your child has a large angle of strabismus, it is now a critical period for visual function development. Persistent strabismus can interfere with this development. All strabismus surgeries carry the risk of undercorrection or overcorrection. Your child should receive early treatment.
