Patient's question:
Children love watching TV very much. Earlier, the doctor said that our child already had myopia with 50 degrees. Now the child's refractive error has increased, and recently I noticed that the child often tilts their head to look things carefully. The doctor said that the child's strabismus is caused by amblyopia. Can amblyopia cause strabismus?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus may be caused by amblyopia, but not all cases of amblyopia lead to strabismus. If amblyopia reappears and the vision difference between the two eyes is significant, it may result in the recurrence of strabismus. Generally, when strabismus and amblyopia occur simultaneously again, it is necessary to first gradually correct the amblyopia before considering strabismus correction surgery. It is recommended to take the child to a regular ophthalmology department for a detailed and thorough examination to determine the treatment plan.
