Strabismus in children may be caused by congenital diseases, family heredity, birth abnormalities, eye position separation and other factors.
1. Congenital diseases: Strabismus may occur in children with congenital developmental abnormalities of the eye tissues, such as Down’s syndrome, congenital extraocular muscle defects and so on.
2. Family Heredity: People in the family of strabismus patients have similarities in the anatomy and physiology of the eye, and anatomical abnormalities can lead to the inheritance of strabismus.
3. Abnormal birth: Difficult labor, intrauterine asphyxia, forceps delivery may lead to eye tissue damage and cause strabismus.
4. Eye separation: usually caused by acquired factors, such as refractive error, insufficient function of eye convergence separation, abnormal visual function, etc. Eye separation can lead to strabismus.
There are many factors that cause strabismus in children, and it is recommended that patients seek timely medical treatment.
