Whether wearing glasses can correct strabismus is related to the type of strabismus of the patient. Generally, patients with adjustable internal strabismus can be treated by wearing glasses, but non-adjustable strabismus requires surgical treatment.
1. Can be corrected: If the patient is an adjustable strabismus, it is mostly due to refractive error that causes the eye position to be skewed, and the patient can correct the refractive error by wearing glasses, so as to balance the eye position and alleviate the discomfort of the eyes.
2. Uncorrectable: Generally, it is more difficult for patients with non-adjustable strabismus to correct strabismus by wearing glasses, and the patients can have surgical treatment according to their conditions, such as endorectal muscle weakening surgery.
It is recommended that patients with strabismus should consult a doctor in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the appropriate treatment.
