Strabismus of 16 degrees is not considered serious, and 16 degrees of strabismus may require surgical treatment.
Strabismus is clinically categorized into four grades: microstrabismus (less than 10 degrees), mild strabismus (10-15 degrees), moderate strabismus (15-30 degrees), and severe strabismus (more than 30 degrees). A strabismus of 16 degrees is a moderate strabismus, and moderate strabismus has the opportunity to be treated by adjusting up to two extraocular muscles in one eye.
However, strabismus of 16 degrees may also require surgical correction. For example, some patients with external strabismus of 16 degrees may need surgical adjustment of the extraocular muscles to improve the development of stereoscopic vision in both eyes when the correction cannot be achieved by wearing eyeglasses and the development of stereoscopic vision in both eyes is affected.
Strabismus 16 degrees need to go to the hospital in time, the doctor to determine the degree of strabismus, to develop an exclusive treatment plan.
