What to do if you are an adult with a strabismus

Depending on the severity of the disease, conservative treatment or surgery can be chosen for adult strabismus. 1. Conservative treatment: It is applicable to adult strabismus caused by dystonia or bad life habits. Acupuncture, massage, functional exercise and wearing of support should be carried out under the guidance of specialized doctors to relieve the tension of neck muscles, mainly the sternocleidomastoid muscle, so as to maintain the normal position of the neck. 2. Surgical treatment: applicable to congenital myotonic cervix and bony cervix. Congenital muscular strabismus is caused by damage to the sternocleidomastoid muscle of infants during childbirth; while congenital bony strabismus is caused by abnormal development of the cervical vertebrae that pulls on the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Surgery is the only way to treat bony cervical strabismus, which is achieved by restoring the normal physiological curvature of the cervical vertebrae through surgery. Adults with cervical strabismus should go to the hospital in time and undergo relevant examinations, and the doctor will provide treatment according to the results of the examination.
