Strabismus in children, clinically known as strabismus, refers to a malfunction in the coordinated movement of the extraocular muscles, which is mainly characterized by the inability of both eyes to look at the same target in the same direction at the same time. Strabismus in children can usually be corrected by wearing glasses, medication and surgery.
1. Wearing glasses: Some strabismus can be corrected by wearing glasses, such as internal strabismus with hyperopia or hyperopic astigmatism, which can be corrected by standardized prescription glasses, and strabismus with diplopia can be corrected by wearing tricorders.
2. Medication: The use of medication can correct or partially correct refractive accommodative strabismus, such as point pupil shrinkage is effective in correcting high AC/A accommodative strabismus, and injection of botulinum toxin A has the effect of reducing or eliminating strabismus, etc. When medication is used to treat strabismus, it should be used correctly under the guidance of doctors to avoid blind use of medication which may cause incorrect medication.
3. Surgery: For patients with severe strabismus, congenital internal strabismus and up and down strabismus, surgical treatment can be used to rebuild the visual function of both eyes, such as muscle weakening surgery, horizontal muscle vertical displacement surgery and other treatments.
Therefore, when children have symptoms such as tilting their head to see things, they should consult a doctor in time to have the cause of the disease clarified and standardized treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
