Patient's question:
This morning, while my daughter was watching TV, I suddenly noticed that her eyes were a bit slanted. She told me that she could only see clearly when looking at things with her slanted eyes, but straight on, she couldn't see very well. I was very worried and quickly took her to see an ophthalmologist, who then discovered that she had strabismus. How does strabismus occur?Doctor's answer:
Genetic factors across generations, underdevelopment or overdevelopment of extraocular muscles, downward gaze, myopia, astigmatism, and other refractive errors can all lead to strabismus. In the treatment of strabismus, symptoms can be alleviated and treated through wearing corrective glasses and surgical methods. However, the specific approach should ideally involve consulting an ophthalmologist at a hospital to determine an appropriate treatment plan, in order to achieve better therapeutic outcomes.
