Patient's question:
At one year old, it was discovered that the left eye is inwardly deviated, not complete strabismus, occasionally normal.Doctor's answer:
Children over 18 months can wear glasses, and it is necessary to dilate pupils sufficiently before wearing them. This can not only improve appearance but also prevent strabismus from worsening into amblyopia. After wearing glasses, it is recommended to have a refraction check and dilation every 6 to 12 months, as hyperopia may gradually decrease as the eye develops and the axial length increases, potentially allowing the child to stop wearing glasses. Since there are various causes of pediatric strabismus and amblyopia, it is essential to identify the underlying cause before treatment and follow a symptomatic treatment approach. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is advisable to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
