Patient's question:
My son doesn't know if it's because of playing games and using his phone too much, but he has strabismus and amblyopia at such a young age. Both my husband and I have normal vision, so I'm very puzzled about his condition. I really want to get him treated quickly. How should pediatric strabismus and amblyopia be treated by doctors?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus and amblyopia in children are caused by congenital growth and development issues. It should have little to do with looking at mobile phones or computers, so it's best to take the child to the ophthalmology department of a local hospital for a follow-up consultation on pediatric strabismus and amblyopia.It is usually caused by various reasons such as refractive errors and anisometropia, so dilated refraction, wearing glasses for correction, and amblyopia treatment need to be implemented simultaneously. If the symptoms of strabismus are not effectively corrected with glasses, surgery may be required.
