Can intermittent strabismus be left untreated?

Intermittent strabismus should not be left untreated. Intermittent strabismus generally refers to intermittent external strabismus, which mostly occurs in children’s group, and is mainly caused by over-exertion of eyes or irrational use of eyes, such as looking at electronic products for a long time. Intermittent strabismus cannot be cured by itself, and without treatment, it will easily develop into constant external strabismus, in which the eyeballs will always be in a state of strabismus, which cannot be controlled and seriously affects the normal life. Therefore, intermittent strabismus cannot be left untreated. In the early stage of development of intermittent exotropia, surgical treatment is not considered, and the state of strabismus can be improved by daily massage, wearing glasses for correction or strabismus training. If the development of intermittent strabismus is serious, it is recommended to cooperate with professional ophthalmologists for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Usually, you should pay attention to the reasonable use of eyes, avoid prolonged use of electronic products, watching TV, close reading, writing or playing games.
