Patient's question:
My son doesn't know if it's because of playing games and using his phone a lot that 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?Doctor's answer:
Children's strabismus and amblyopia are caused by congenital growth and development. It should have little to do with looking at mobile phones and computers, so it's best to take the child to the local hospital's ophthalmology department for a follow-up consultation on pediatric strabismus and amblyopia. Usually, it may still be due to 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 well-corrected by glasses, surgical treatment should still be considered.
