Intermittent strabismus mostly refers to intermittent external strabismus, which is generally more difficult to heal on its own, has a tendency to progress to constant strabismus without timely and effective treatment training, and requires surgical treatment when control is poor. Intermittent exotropia is the more common type of exotropia, which is manifested by poor concentration and visual fatigue, and may be associated with functional abnormalities such as convergence and fusion. Intermittent esotropia is generally more difficult to normalize on its own, and if it is not detected and treated in time, the patient may develop a constant esotropia. Depending on the cause of intermittent esotropia, there are many ways to correct it. The patient should consult a doctor in time to improve the collection function of optometry and other auxiliary examinations, and according to the specific situation, the patient should receive orthoptic training, refractive error correction, amblyopia training, or prisms to correct the eye position. Surgery is also needed if there is deterioration of binocular vision or obvious suppression. Patients with intermittent strabismus are advised to seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
