Playing cell phones while lying down will not cause strabismus for a short period of time, but if the patient habitually lies to one side for a long period of time, it may cause strabismus.
If the patient occasionally lies down to look at the cell phone, generally less damage to the eyes, and will not cause strabismus, but also not conducive to the health of the eyes, easy to cause visual fatigue as well as myopia and so on. If the patient lies down for a long time to look at the cell phone, because the eye position is skewed, it may lead to strabismus.
If the patient has high myopia due to bad eye habits, or even fundus lesions, which seriously damage the patient’s vision, it may cause disuse strabismus.
Strabismus is a common ophthalmology disease, which means that the patient’s eyes are not parallel to each other, one eye is looking straight ahead, while the other eye’s vision will be deviated. Depending on the direction of deviation, it can be categorized into vertical strabismus, external strabismus, internal strabismus, and other types of strabismus. Strabismus can affect the patient’s appearance and can lead to impaired stereoscopic vision.
Patients with strabismus are advised to seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
