Treatment of strabismus: timing and method are very important.

Strabismus is not only a problem of eye position, but also an abnormality of binocular visual function. This article will introduce the timing and methods of strabismus treatment to help you better understand how to protect your baby's eyes.

Congenital esotropia

Congenital esotropia should be operated before 1-2 years old, so as not to affect the development of binocular monocular function.

Wear glasses to correct

For esotropia after 6 months, it may be necessary to try to improve it by mydriasis optometry and glasses. If strabismus has not changed or only partially improved after wearing glasses, then surgery may be a necessary choice.

Exotropia surgery

Although there are conservative treatments for exotropia in children, surgery is often the first choice. Especially 4-6 years old, the effect may be the best.

Professional doctor

Finally, I strongly recommend that you take your baby to the eye clinic, so that professional doctors can make accurate diagnosis and treatment suggestions for your baby.
