What is strabismus? Strabismus refers to the inability of both eyes to focus on the same target at the same time, that is, when both eyes are focusing on the target, one eye is skewed, and people often say “cock-eye” and “squinting white eyes” are a kind of strabismus. What are the symptoms of strabismus? Strabismus can cause amblyopia, diplopia and loss of stereopsis. I blamed Little D for his poor performance in reading, but later I found out that because of his strabismus, his handwriting would be blurred, overlapped or serialized when he reads, and that is why he could not concentrate and delayed his study. The obvious strabismus will result in a skewed eye position, which affects the aesthetics, is teased by other children, and affects his mental health. Luckily, I found it early, otherwise it would affect his employment when he grows up, and he would not be able to become a pilot. Why didn’t I realize he had strabismus before? Strabismus can be detected if a child is often inattentive, has one eye tilted outward, always closes one eye when looking at something, tilts or turns his head, rubs his eyes a lot, or blinks a lot. However, not all strabismus will have obvious appearance abnormalities. The classification and manifestation of strabismus is very complicated, so it is necessary to go to a specialized eye hospital regularly for a comprehensive eye examination. How to treat strabismus? The treatment of strabismus varies according to the type of strabismus. There is one type of strabismus where the strabismus disappears after wearing glasses and no surgery is needed, and the strabismus can disappear after wearing proper glasses and visual training, and there are other types of strabismus that require both glasses and surgery. Strabismus surgery is not only for correcting the eye position and improving the appearance, but also for establishing the function of binocular vision, which is more important. The best time for surgery is before the age of 6 to 7. If you have strabismus, you need to go to the hospital for surgery. Surgery is scary, it moves around inside the eyeball, what if it makes me blind? Don’t worry, strabismus surgery is to correct your muscles and won’t hurt your eyeballs, it won’t affect your vision, and the doctor will give you anesthesia, so your eyes will be fine after a good night’s sleep. You can’t read well because of strabismus, not because you’re stupid! Moreover, general anesthesia will not affect your IQ. After the surgery, you will be smarter than before. Strabismus should be detected and treated early, and more importantly, it should be professionally diagnosed, professionally treated, and treated for a long time. Even after the surgery, you can’t let your guard down. If you want your eye position to remain stable for a long time and establish stable and normal stereoscopic function, you still need to cooperate with certain visual acuity training and regular follow-up visits. Parents should work together with doctors to give their children a healthy and bright future.
