Patient's question:
Born, the eyes always looked at the lights, causing one eye to be cross-eyed.Doctor's answer:
Hello, strabismus is primarily aimed at amblyopia to promote the proper development of vision in both eyes, and secondarily to correct the misaligned eye position. The treatment methods for strabismus include: wearing glasses, patching with an eye shield, eye axis correction training, eye muscle surgery, or a combination of these methods. Patching with an eye shield is used to treat amblyopia caused by strabismus. Eye axis correction utilizes instruments to strengthen eye movement. Eye muscle surgery involves relaxing or shortening one or more extraocular muscles of one or both eyes. Mild strabismus can be corrected with prism glasses.
