Treatment Method
- Strabismus treatment for children is performed on the basis of the following criteria:
• The child's age, general health and medical history
• The child's tolerance for specific treatments
• The cause of strabismus
• The type of strabismus and its severity
Note: Treatment may include one or more of the following:
• Eye glasses or prism glasses
• Eye drops
• Eye exercises
• Using the eye patching on one or both eyes alternately; (If the patient suffers from lazy eye too, this method helps to correct it too.)
• Surgery: If the ophthalmologist diagnoses that other treatments are not successful, surgery will be the safest and most effective treatment for strabismus.
