Whether 15 degrees of strabismus is serious or not needs to be judged by the doctor after completing the examination of visual function. Generally speaking, if the visual function is adversely affected, timely surgery is needed.
Strabismus of 15 degrees is not a natural physiological phenomenon, but a pathologic strabismus, which may cause blurred vision, visual fatigue, limited eye movement, diplopia, neurological abnormalities and other symptoms, which seriously affects the patient’s daily life, learning, and even affects the patient’s psychological health.
If exotropia of 15 degrees affects the stereopsis and other visual functions of both eyes, it should be treated in time to prevent it from becoming more serious. At present, exotropia of 15 degrees is mostly treated by surgery, which accomplishes the purpose of correcting exotropia through surgical operation. Surgery is the best way to correct strabismus. After surgery, you will need to practice restoring the visual function of both eyes, along with daily care, to help your eyesight return to normal more quickly.
When you find strabismus 15 degrees, you should go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital for a detailed examination and be guided by the doctor for treatment.
