Cock-eye, or internal strabismus, when accompanied by pain, requires prompt medical attention to clarify the cause and active treatment.
When both eyes are looking at the same target at the same time, patients with strabismus are not able to do so at the same time, which is manifested by one eye looking at the target while the other eye is deviated inward (on the side of the bridge of the nose). When strabismus is accompanied by pain, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time, which may be caused by eye trauma and local inflammation of the eye. Patients with eye trauma can apply cold compresses at an early stage, and then apply hot compresses after 48 hours to relieve discomfort.
Patients with ocular inflammation can follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, such as tobramycin eye drops, to control inflammation and relieve local discomfort.
It is recommended that patients with internal strabismus consult a doctor to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
