Can strabismus and amblyopia be treated with surgery?

Patient's question:

I have had a strabismus problem since I was a child. Now that I am getting older, I went to get my vision tested two days ago, and the doctor said I have amblyopia. I would like to ask if people with amblyopia and strabismus like me can have surgery? I feel that my strabismus has become particularly severe, so I would like to ask the doctor for help. What treatment should I follow?

Doctor's answer:

If you have had relatively severe strabismus and visual impairment since childhood, how surgery can be used to address it must be carefully examined before confirmation can be made. Since the causes of strabismus and amblyopia vary, the treatment plans are also different. For some cases where the cause cannot be identified, certain issues cannot be corrected through surgery. The specific treatment plan must be determined after a thorough examination by the attending physician.
