What to do if your baby’s eyes are inwardly slanted

If your baby has congenital strabismus or non-adjustable strabismus with a high degree of obliquity, surgery is usually needed to correct it. If it is an accommodative strabismus, it can be corrected by wearing distance glasses or bifocals. Esotropia can be categorized into congenital esotropia and acquired esotropia. If the developmental defects of extraocular muscles caused by heredity or congenital developmental abnormalities can cause babies to develop strabismus, congenital strabismus usually requires early surgical treatment so as not to affect the development of the child’s visual function. Acquired strabismus can be categorized into adjustable and non-adjustable strabismus. Adjustable strabismus is usually caused by abnormal adjustment, which can be corrected by wearing appropriate distance glasses or bifocals. Non-adjustable strabismus with a high degree of obliquity usually requires surgical correction. If your baby has strabismus, you should go to the hospital in time to get a clear picture of the type of strabismus and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of your doctor.
