When a child’s eyes are crossed, it is often referred to as esotropia. Children with esotropia can have their eyes corrected and their appearance improved by wearing glasses or undergoing surgical treatment.
In general, strabismus is commonly known as opposite eye or cock-eye, because of the eye position is skewed, the child may experience vision loss, double vision and other uncomfortable symptoms. Adjustable Esotropia usually does not require surgical treatment, and children can wear glasses to correct the refractive error, thus balancing the eye position and improving the appearance.
For non-adjustable strabismus caused by other developmental anomalies, surgical treatment is required, and children can be treated with surgical procedures such as medial rectus muscle reduction to balance the eye position.
It is recommended that children with esotropia should consult a doctor in time to assess their condition and choose the appropriate treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
