What Are the Most Common Treatments for Strabismus in Children?

Children's eyeballs are short, and there is a phenomenon of physiological hyperopia. Since the child is 2 years old, the need to see near objects gradually increases, and the child's eyes have a strong ability to adjust, and the extraocular muscles have a good contraction force. At the same time, it must be accompanied by excessive binocular turning inward, which is most likely to cause esotropia. In addition, congenital factors and birth trauma can also be caused by poor visual function development.

Congenital factors and birth injuries

The cause of strabismus in children is abnormal congenital extraocular muscle development; congenital paralysis of the nerves that govern the movement of extraocular muscles; mothers who have difficulty giving birth to damage to the extraocular muscles and nerves in the extraocular muscles can have deflected eyeball positions.

Visual function is not well developed.

Generally speaking, children with esotropia after 6 months should not be operated immediately.

Children's strabismus correction method 1: Children's strabismus treatment methods include wearing glasses and surgical correction. For example, when children with esotropia also have middle-high hyperopia, when wearing full-correction hyperopia glasses can fully correct esotropia, such esotropia should be treated by wearing glasses; if there is no power in refractive examination, strabismus cannot be improved by wearing glasses, then You have to correct it through surgery.

Correction method for children's strabismus 2. When children are found to have strabismus, many parents mistakenly believe that strabismus only affects the appearance of the child, does not affect eating, sleeping, playing, or going to school, it is not a disease, and will naturally get better when he grows up; also Some people think that children's strabismus does not need to be treated as early as possible and does not need to be treated with glasses. When they grow up, they need to undergo surgical corrections. These understandings are incorrect. The purpose of strabismus treatment is not only to solve the problem of appearance, but more importantly, functional treatment. This includes the treatment of amblyopia and restoration of binocular vision, elimination of diplopia and compensatory head position, and other important content for children's normal physical and psychological growth and development. It has significance that cannot be underestimated. When you find that your child has strabismus, go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. A comprehensive eye examination is required first, as some strabismus may be secondary to some eye diseases.

The first is the effect of appearance. From the appearance point of view, when one eye of the child is facing the object, the other cannot face it, so it gives people a sense of incongruity. This is also the main motivation for patients to seek medical treatment.

More importantly, children's strabismus affects binocular vision, and severe cases do not have good stereo vision. Stereo vision is an advanced visual function that only humans and higher animals have, and it is one of the prerequisites for people to engage in fine work. Without good stereo vision, learning and employment will be greatly restricted.

Most children with strabismus suffer from amblyopia at the same time. Because of the long-term fixation of one eye in strabismus patients, the other eye will cause disuse vision loss or stop development. Even if you wear proper glasses in the future, vision will not reach normal.

Suffering from strabismus in childhood also affects the development of the whole body's bones, such as the compensatory head position for congenital paralysis strabismus, causing neck muscle contractures and pathological curvature of the spine, and asymmetric facial development.
