Patient's question:
My baby is just a few months old. His father works at a gym. I noticed that the child is very interested in this place, so I take her to the gym every day. When we go out, I find that she keeps staring at the gym equipment. That day, her grandmother told me that the baby has strabismus when looking at things, which made us very worried. Does the gym equipment cause strabismus in infants?Doctor's answer:
Generally, gym equipment will never cause a child to develop strabismus. There are many factors that can lead to strabismus in children, but it's important to note that since a child's nose bridge has not yet begun to grow, some children may appear to have strabismus. In this case, it is recommended that the child be examined by a doctor promptly to confirm the condition. If strabismus is present, the child needs to be treated in a timely manner, and the eyes also need to be adjusted accordingly.
