Hidden strabismus can be self-tested by the masking method.
Hidden strabismus refers to the fact that when both eyes focus on things at the same time, the eyes will not be skewed, but when the fusion of binocular vision is broken, it will be manifested as hidden strabismus, which can be self-tested through the covering method, blocking one of the patient’s eyes will make the blocked eye appear strabismic, and it will be automatically returned to its position after removing the covering object, which will clearly show whether it is hidden strabismus or not.
The patient should avoid excessive use of the eyes, do not watch electronic products for a long time, often look into the distance, pay attention to eye hygiene, do not rub the eyes with your hands, ensure that the eyes have enough rest, and conduct regular eye examinations.
If you suspect the presence of hidden strabismus and self-testing cannot confirm the diagnosis, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
